A light rainfall and the threat of heavier rain did not deter hundreds of people who turned out for Galveston's Fourth of July Parade in Downtown Galveston.

Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas, Mayor Pro Tem Danny Weber and council members Dianna Puccetti and Juan Peña participated in the parade.

KPRC Television news anchor Bill Balleza was grand marshal of the parade.
