The Parada del Sol parade launches the Trails End annual festival on Saturday in Scottsdale.

The parade, with the participation of floats, various organizations and an army tank, was rolled up the streets of the Old Town of Scottsdale before ending at the end of the path.

Scotsdale’s historical parade parade delled by Drinkwater Boulevard on the path of Scottsdale to Avenue Brown and the Indian school road, making the historic Quarter of Scottsdale a lively street party for the Trail’s End Festival.

Both the parade del Sol, and the path of the path of the trail host Skotdale Sharos. The event is a holiday of all things “Wild West” from historical reconstructions to country tunes to root crafts and performances.

The event attracts a diverse crowd every year – this year was no exception – with many who wear classic cowboy hats and boots. Visitors filled the sidewalks and blocked the streets, immersing themselves in the rich history of display.

The emblematic bars such as the rusty spur and the old city tavern blended on stage, buzzing with cowboy -dressed reveaters hugging the Western spirit.

Sons of the American Revolution

A newcomer to the event, a stand offered unexpected glare in history, including the display of the sons of the American Revolution, the colleague of the daughters of the American Revolution. While the Trail’s End festival celebrates the story, its main focus remains on the western border.

The group participates in the morning parade, and in support of the Muskets smears muskets.

“This is our first time we participate in the festival and the goal today is to build some awareness of the organization, who we are and what we are for,” said Mark Sifert, a member of the Goldvoter head in Arizona.

The organization is a non -political, non -profit purpose that boasts members with the direct genealogy of someone who is fighting or supporting the American Revolution.

“Our goal is to preserve the fundamental principles of the country alive and relevant,” said Sifer.

Rick Spargo, the state president of the Sons of the American Revolution Arizona, said the organization does this by performing wandering, hosting educational programs in schools and offering scholarships to local students.

Several members of the US Army have shown a vehicle for entirely terrain, which was in the parade along with the troops of Fort Huachuka’s cavalry show in Sierra Vista.

Kyle Madrigal, 27 -year -old, captain and commander of the company to recruit the Central Army of Phoenix, stood aside as the children crawl across the tank.

“We are here, showing a more positive look for the army here,” Madrigal said, then added, laughing, “Go join the army!”

Frybread and Honky Tonk

The American Indian festival section was buzzing with energy filled with the rhythms of traditional dances, the deep drum strokes, the attractive frying aroma and the sellers showing live, handmade goods.

For jeweler, Marvin Slim event was a well -known territory. Although the bigger part of his business has been based in Santa Fe, he has traveled from New Mexico for the past few years to sell his handmade pieces.

Carrying out a long family tradition, Slim also handed over his craft to his children. “I was taught by my mother and my uncle showed me how to do Lapidari work,” he said. “So it has been betrayed through generations.”

Some people went to dance with the country and music of Bluegras pouring out on the street.

Doug Decaral, 60, a member of The Cowboy Lifestyle Network and Arizona Honky Tonk Dancers, is present at the Trails End event as part of a live music list and swung his partner on the sidewalk, accompanied by Bluegrass and Country Tunes.

As the crowd was smiling, a reminder, Decastro thought about a deeply rooted love for local music, tracking her at a concert she was seven years old to see J. David Sloan with Mr. Lucky.
