Sparkles and Smiles at SoHum’s Lighted Parade

The Chandelier Drive Thru Tree float won Best Lights in the 2018 Southern Humboldt Annual Lighted Parade. [All photos by Kym Kemp unless otherwise noted]

Southern Humboldt sparkled Friday night at the Soroptimists Annual Lighted Parade. The streets of the tiny town of Garberville were crowded with residents and visitors in a holiday mood. Food vendors (mostly non-profits) tucked into almost every available nook.

The annual parade had perfect weather. The crews of fire engines tossed candy and the floats sparkled as if a few of the stars above had sprinkled glitter below.

Nice pics and ‘floats’! I especially liked that mushroom? or umm, jellyfish in the back of the staked truck. Trippy!
