Don’t forget about all the food, the parade, and of course the treasure hunt! If you find the Treasure Hunt Medallion, you’ll take home $500. Here’s a hint, it’s a special acrylic medallion hidden in the city on public property. ABC 6 News will begin releasing clues starting Saturday, June 17th at 7 a.m.
Saturday, June 24 ABC 6 will stream the parade live on our website and on Facebook. On Sunday, June 25 there will be a special broadcast presentation starting at 2 p.m.
