The annual San Juan Bautista Easter Parade was held Saturday, April 8 at 1 p.m. in the historic downtown.

Concerns earlier in the week about poor weather were dismissed as the clouds parted and the sun shone on the floats, cars and dancers who made their way through the streets.

Merchants were open so parade-goers could find deals before and after the parade.

BenitoLink photographer Lisa Robinson-Ward captured images from the early-spring celebration.
