SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A revived San Francisco tradition.

People in the Sunset District marched down the Great Highway on Saturday for the inaugural “Oceanside Fourth of July Parade.”

It’s been decades since the city had a July 4th parade.

Two bands, 25 dancers as well as several parents and kids took part.

Inside effort to bring Fourth of July parade back to San Francisco for first time in decades

Supervisor Joel Engardio organized the event because he says it is time the City had its own Fourth of July parade.

“An event like this tells the world, we are not a doom loop. It tells the world that we have a lot of joy, and we are creating more of it. And, we are imaginative or innovative, and we are going to create our best San Francisco,” Engardio said.

Organizers had the parade on June 29 to make sure people who already made holiday plans could attend.

The supervisor says the plan is to have this on July 4th, next year.

Olivia Culpo and San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey have officially tied the knot after more than four years of dating.

Culpo, 32, and McCaffrey, 28, tied the knot on Saturday, June 29, in a church in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, according to Vogue.

“It’s a covenant. It’s the beginning of the rest of your life — and it’s the union and bond of two people forever,” Culpo, who wore a Dolce & Gabbana ball gown, told the outlet of the big day.

Following her split from Danny Amendola, Culpo was set up with McCaffrey in June 2019. The couple went public with their relationship in February 2020.

The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner, Lauren Alaina, Usher and more celebrities went to the chapel in 2024 and got married. Turner met Theresa Nist during the inaugural season of the Bachelor Nation spinoff, which aired in late 2023. Weeks after their televised proposal, Turner and Nist wed in a live TV ceremony on January […]

“Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend. Thank you for changing my life and showing me the kind of love I always wanted but never thought was possible,” Culpo wrote via Instagram at the time. “You are the definition of an answered prayer. I am the luckiest girl in the world.”

McCaffrey, for his part, shared a series of pictures of himself and Culpo with the caption, “Never a dull moment with you. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Culpo later admitted that she was “not looking for a relationship” when she connected with the football player.

“Three years ago I was not looking for a relationship. When my best friends Kristen & Tyler called me and asked if I would be open to meeting their friend Christian I was apprehensive,” she wrote in June 2022 via Instagram. “I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same. While my expectations were low, I knew I couldn’t close myself off and make decisions based on fear.”

Culpo continued: “I’m so grateful for the voice inside me that told me to give love another chance. The yin to my yang, you are the epitome of strength through humility. Thank you for being my rock and restoring my faith in love. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more ❤️ ❤️.”

Nearly five months later, Culpo got candid about how she and McCaffrey make their relationship work despite how busy they are with their own careers.

“We’re both really understanding about [our] schedules and the way that things have to work for the time being, and that definitely helps,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I think when you’re on the same page with that you can, you really can make it work.”

After three years of dating, the couple got engaged in April 2023. They’ve continued to be each other’s biggest supporters, with Culpo cheering for McCaffrey and the 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII four months before their wedding day. McCaffrey’s team didn’t take home the win — the Kansas City Chiefs beat the 49ers 25-22 — but Culpo was proud to watch her then-fiancé on the field.

“My heart is full of so many emotions,” she captioned a TikTok video in February. “Sad because I wish the outcome was different, but ultimately grateful I get the opportunity to watch someone I love do what he loves and pour his heart and soul into becoming better every single day.”

She added, “I’m so proud of you Christian, you deserve the world. Thank you all so much for the love and support this year! It means so much.”

National Baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda died on Friday at the age of 86. Along with Willie Mays, this marks the second San Francisco Giants’ legend to pass away in the month of June.

Upon learning of his passing, the Giants put out a lengthy statement on his impact. This is a portion of that:

“We lost a true gentleman and legend,” Giants chairman Greg Johnson said. “Orlando was a great ambassador for the game throughout his playing career and beyond. He was one of the all-time great Giants and he will truly be missed. Our condolences go out to the Cepeda family for their tremendous loss and we extend our thoughts to Orlando’s teammates, his friends, and to all those touched by his passing.”

Cepeda spent 17 years in the big leagues with the Giants, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox. A native of Puerto Rico, he hit 379 career home runs and owned a lifetime .297 batting average.

He had 2,351 career hits, was an 11-time All-Star, an MVP winner and a World Series champion. He also won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1958. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.

The Giants’ website also had a statement from commissioner Rob Manfred as well:

“Orlando Cepeda was one of the best hitters of his generation. He starred for three historic National League franchises, and the 11-time All-Star played alongside Hall of Fame players throughout his career,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “Orlando was the 1958 National League Rookie of the Year when Major League Baseball debuted in San Francisco, where later ‘The Baby Bull’s’ number 30 was retired. In 1967 he earned NL MVP honors during the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Championship season.
