Clowns, big balloons, drum majors and racing wiener dogs assembled along Harbor Drive in front of the County Administration Building hyper ready for the 25th annual Port of San Diego Holiday Bowl Parade. Loud cannons were fired from a tall ship, the Californian, adding even more excitement to the crowd.

I spoke with many happy tourists who came here for this event and the football game tonight between USC Trojans and Wisconsin Badgers. 100,000 spectators enjoyed the festivities this morning and San Diego shined again. #PortofSanDiego #SanDiegobowlgames #Holidaybowl
