To the Antioch community:
The Board of Directors of the Celebrate Antioch Foundation would like to thank you for once again showing that having a good time at a community event is possible. This year has marked the sixth consecutive year without an incident occurring and the fourth year at the fairgrounds without an issue.
We at Celebrate Antioch know as a community we take many black eyes in the media both paper and social. So, we want to publicly thank you the Community of Antioch for a great turnout and participation in the parade. Then following it with a fantastic fun family showing at the Fairgrounds was just impressive. There were over three thousand in attendance (estimation) at the parade and more than ten thousand for the celebration at the Fairgrounds and fireworks show.
We would also like to thank our Grand Marshalls Lara Heimforth and Jacey Refroe. Lara is Classified Employee of the Year for Antioch Unified School District and Jacey Renfroe is Teacher of the Year for A.U.S.D. We would also like to thank all of our Sponsors and Volunteers that make this event happen. Our Volunteers are individually thanked and here is a list of our sponsors:
