The Bay State Band played Yankee Doodle and God Bless America. Born in the USA blasted from the Rotary Club’s float speakers. The Martha’s Vineyard Scottish Society had bagpipes, the Peace Society marched, the girls’ tennis float boasted a State Champions sign. Camp Jabberwocky kids sang their anthems. World War II veteran Fred B. Morgan Jr. led the whole parade, this year from a golf cart.

Edgartown’s annual Fourth of July Parade welcomed the entire Martha’s Vineyard community Monday on a beautiful summer afternoon.
