Children's marching band
Title
Children's marching band
Description
A black and white photograph of a children's marching band participating in the Gay Nineties parade in the 1950s or early 1960s. The photograph was taken on the corner of Pacific Avenue and Main street. Ellis Lucia, who potentially took this photograph, worked for the Forest Grove News Times.
This is one photograph from a collection on the Gay Nineties festival and the the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest in Forest Grove, Oregon. The festival centered around a theme of nostalgia for the 1890s decade. The event, which ran from 1947 through the 1990s, featured a parade downtown, residents dressing up in 1890s-themed costumes for the celebrations, local businesses decorating their window displays, and the crown jewel of the event, the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest, which earned Forest Grove the nickname "Ballad Town U.S.A."
