As summer approaches, so does the annual Turlock Independence Day Parade, Car Show and Street Fair in Downtown Turlock. From 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 4, countless area residents will head to Downtown Turlock and celebrate what has become a community tradition. This year’s theme is Country Pride. Whether that means “western” or “stars-and-stripes” is up to the participants. Vendors and other entrants are encouraged to interpret the theme to their choosing.
