    Parade on Main Street, 4th of July 2002

    Sparky and Leapin' Lena

    Milpitas used to have a fairly long 4th of July parade on Main Street. This one was back in 2002. The parade featured our historic first fire engine, Leapin’ Lena, which is now housed at the Milpitas Community Library, horse riders from local stables, and of course, Mustang convertibles which were manufactured at the Ford Plant which is now the Great Mall. For current 4th of July plans in Milpitas, check the Events Calendar.

    Fireworks Set-Up for 4th of July 2002

    July 3, 2018 /

    A lot of work went into setting up the fireworks display on the 4th of July, 2002. Pyro Spectaculars is a very active company that hires professionally licensed “pyros” to manage the display set-up. They usually have a crew of friendly volunteers who turn out to help with various aspects of the two-day process. The Zeise family has now helped out twice. Here are some photos of the whole gang working on the non-explosive part on July 3rd, which is why you’ll see some children. For current 4th of July plans in Milpitas, check the Events Calendar.
