Beginning at 6 p.m., grads clad in elegant gowns and suave tuxedos will be traveling from Penticton Secondary School to Penticton Lakeside Resort using a variety of unique and creative ways to get around.
In the past, students have travelled in cars and trucks, in boats, on bicycles, by foot and many other ways. The grad parade is the highlight of the graduation experience for many students who look forward to seeing the cheering crowds along the route.
The parade will primarily travel north along Main Street with all the intersections closed to general traffic.
