Monrovia Day Celebration: May 17th, 2008 9:00 am | ( details )

     Monrovians will celebrate 122 years as a community is traditional fashion May 17 with a parade down the middle of Myrtle Avenue.

          Monrovia has been celebrating its birthday with similar parades on the third Saturday in May since the first one on May 17, 1897.

          The parade will kick off at 9 a.m. at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Myrtle, and proceed south through Old Town to Chestnut Avenue.

      It will be preceded by the traditional pancake breakfast at the Community Center, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.   The pancake breakfast is set to begin at 6:30 a.m.   Because of constriction of the new Public Library in Library Park, this year’s activities will be limited to the breakfast and the parade.   The community march down Myrtle is being dedicated this year to Monrovia’s children, with the theme “Celebrating Monrovia’s Youth: Our Future, Hope and Heroes.”

   Hometown Grand Marshall’s will be Monrovia High School “Students of Character.”

     The celebration is coordinated by the Monrovia Day Committee.
