DANVILLE (KRON) — Competition is fierce when it comes to getting a spot for the 4th of July parade in Danville.
KRON4’s Lydia Pantazes is there now.
She says people set out to stake their claim along San Ramon Valley Blvd. as early as 6:00 p.m. last night.
The event attracts about 40-thousand people every year, which means people are getting craft with their seat-saving methods.
Some people even put out “Parade Scarecrows” to save their spots along the #4thofJuly parade route in Danville. @kron4news pic.twitter.com/5JUUGI3ZLn— Lydia Pantazes (@LydiaPantazes) July 4, 2017

Different bands, gymnasts, horses, antique cars, scouts, and other community organizations are featured in this year’s celebration.
