2020 Waterland Virtual Parade:
Thank you to all of the sponsors and our terrific Destination Des Moines and Rotary of Normandy Park/Des Moines for putting on the virtual Waterland Parade for 2020. The Parade was a mix of shout outs from the community, mixed with previous year's parades and historical photos. Enjoy!!
