Parade-goers were jubilant as the parade returned following a two-year absence because of the pandemic.
But this year was particularly meaningful. The parade returned Monday after a two-year absence due to the pandemic, and Joiner was jubilant. Parade-goers echoed Joiner’s thoughts, as tens of thousands of spectators lined MLK Boulevard to cheer a procession of colorful floats, drill teams, jump ropers, hula-hoopers, church groups and high school bands.
Participants, including Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins, marched about a mile from Holmes Street to Fair Park.
