Local children took over Cabrillo Boulevard on Saturday morning for the annual Fiesta Children’s Parade, “El Desfile de los Niños.”
Colorful costumes and floats glided down the street from Garden to Calle Puerto Vallarta as close to 40,000 onlookers cheered.
The parade was organized by the Parks and Recreation Department and serves more than 2,500 children and their families each year.
At the end of the parade, the much anticipated ice cream finale was handed out to all participants, sponsored by MarBorg Industries.
