Tustin Meadows Parade Remains Community Tradition Despite Decline
Old timers recall a 1970s 80s era when Tustin Meadows parade drew 5000 residents and 25 floats in a bicentennial peak. Today about a dozen floats remain, yet organizer Adrian Henson keeps the 45th annual event alive with bands, costumes, a 5K and carnival to raise funds for nonprofits.
