Half Moon Bay was alive with small town spirit on Sunday at the 50th annual âOl' Fashioned Fourth of Julyâ parade and festival.
A steady stream of visitors and locals alike poured into the townâs Main Street to enjoy an event billed as the Coastside Rising âSo Happy Together.â
âWe love the community here and the small-town feel,â said Leonie Wohl who came from Burlingame for the parade.
The festival marked a return to normalcy as large outdoor gatherings are now permitted under San Mateo County and state guidelines. With last yearâs celebration canceled due to the pandemic, organizers aimed to highlight newfound optimism and hope at the gathering.

THE WASHINGTON POST – Reginald Alston never expected to get a coronavirus vaccine and never expected anyone would change his mind about it.
But his best friend, a hair salon owner, kept telling him he was being shortsighted and maybe even a little bit selfish. What about his niece and her newborn who live with him? How would he feel if they became sick? Also, his job as a contractor and painter meant he was often going into other people’s homes. Didn’t he want to be protected?
By the time that friend, Katrina Randolph, told him about the nearby barbershop hosting a vaccination clinic, and offered to drive him there, Alston, 57, was far along on the journey to changing his mind.
