Photo Gallery: McAllen celebrates Fourth of July with patriotism and parade
McAllen celebrated the Fourth of July on Friday like every other American community: with a parade, and with a healthy display of patriotism.
Decked out in red, white and blue, the McAllen and surrounding community attended in jubilation and celebration of Independence Day as the parade route ran through the heart of the city.
Attendees waved flags and streamers, participants marched and bands performed.
There were even real, live Ghostbusters on-hand.
