花车乐队国际区大游行

上週六清晨近七十个花车、楽队、体操队已经依序排列在休斯敦百利大道上整装待发。上午九时正，指挥官－声令下，由艾利夫学区学生仪队之前导下，开始沿着百利大道向西行走，由国际区制作之花车载着市议员、理事及三位活泼可爱的孩童在音乐声中出发，她们以可掬之笑容向观眾们挥手致意。

二十多年来，在工商社区领袖及市政府之支下，国际区之发展正显示一片欣欣向荣景象，也成為大休斯敦之一个国际櫉窗，许多大小商业行号不断迁入，百利大道每天车水马龙，超市商场更是挤得水洩不通。

我们热爱这块土地，也是我们要珍惜和爱护的家园，国际区大游行溶入了各族裔代表和年青朋友，他们是我们未来的希望。

Alief International District Parade

Last Saturday morning nearly 100 floats, bands, and gymnastics teams had lined up on Houston’s Bellaire Blvd. and were all ready to go. At precisely 9:00 am under the command of the Alief School District Student Honor Guard that was leading the way, the whole procession stepped out and the Alief International District Parade 2024 had begun.

The parade proceeded weaving along Bellaire Blvd. with a float from the International District carrying city council members, directors and three lively and adorable children setting

it all off to sounds of joyful music. The children waved gleefully to the audience with beaming smiles.

Over the past twenty years, with the support of the business community leaders and the local government,

the development of the International District has grown to be a thriving and prosperous scene.

The District has become a window of greater Houston with numerous businesses of all sizes relocating here. Bellaire Boulevard moves briskly now each day with streams of traffic and supermarkets are bustling with record activity.

We love this land which is our cherished and most cared-for home. The parade annually brings together representatives of various ethnicities and young friends who represent the hope for our future.
