-  Today is one of the longest days in the year which means Summer Solstice is upon us.  Minor Mishap Marching Band will be leading a parade up and down Lady Bird Lake. Make a lantern on site and take it along with you!  Take a look at the map of the route.Get there by 8:00pm.  Step-off for parade begins at 8:30pm right off of Robert E.
