LONG BEACH - The third annual Cambodian New Year Parade makes its way down Anaheim Street this morning.
The opening ceremony will start at 9:30 a.m. on the corner of Junipero Avenue and Anaheim Street. At 10:30 a.m., the Parade will proceed west on Anaheim Street through the heart of the Cambodian community, now nicknamed "Cambodia Town," to MacArthur Park.
The Parade theme is "Building the Bridge to the Future Together" in recognition of the diversity of the Long Beach residents who have united to build a better city for all to enjoy, according to the Cambodian Coordinating Committee, which is sponsoring the parade.
More than 60 community and cultural groups and four floats are expected to participate in the parade, followed by cultural presentations and entertainment at MacArthur Park.
