Placentia has a lot to celebrate this year.<\/p>\n

The community\u2019s 61st Heritage Festival Parade and Car Show on Saturday, Oct. 10, celebrated the city\u2019s centennial, as well as America\u2019s 250th birthday. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cStars, Stripes, and Stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stepping off Saturday morning on Kraemer Boulevard, marching bands, local school and community groups, floats and more paraded past folks waving from along the route.<\/p>\n

The parade left off at Tri-City Park, where the festival took over with carnival games and family friendly activities, a business expo, craft vendors, car show and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Banuelos, 11, waves to friends riding in the Miss California\u2019s Teen Julianne Rocke car while she watches…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,7,179,23,611,2463,136],"class_list":["post-492095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-california","tag-community","tag-local-news","tag-orange-county","tag-placentia","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
