With floats, bands and many other entries, the Lompoc Valley Flower Festival Parade traveled through town on Saturday morning.
The procession began at 10 a.m., departing from the corner of North H Street and East College Avenue before traveling south along H Street and then West Ocean Avenue.
Approximately 70 entries participated in the parade, with floats required to use flowers or natural materials, most of which were grown in the Lompoc Valley.
