The annual Fourth of July parade confirms "Lakewood's Got Talent."
Lakewood has a ton of talent … for crazy hats, cute kids, and odd costumes.
This year's "Lakewood's Got Talent" Fourth of July parade showcased all that and an abundance of snazzy cars. For patriotic colors and a look at our fun-loving neighbors, check out the parade slideshow and watch for some of the best-dressed kiddos in town.
The winners of the categories of the parade judging will be announced here, so watch for that article to come soon.
If you took some great photos of the festivities on July Fourth, send them in and we'll put your photos online.
