RECAP - 26th Annual 4th of July Parade & Picnic

Enjoy this video documenting the parade through The Point and the family fun, food, & games at Malibu Elementary.

This year's parade marked our 26th annual event here in Point Dume, Malibu. Our wonderful community tradition began in the late '80s and we have been going strong ever since. The PDCSD has collaborated with many community members across the years and are grateful for the support of the MES PTA and other committed community members this year.

Thank you to PDCSD board member, Chase Hirt, for the videos and photography.
