The Boulder City Elks Club was one of several groups or businesses who had booths at Broadbent Park following the parade.

The Shriners and their mini mobiles are always a crowd favorite during the parade.

Thousands turned out to Veterans’ Memorial Park for the festivities, which culminated in a 30-minute fireworks show.
