Hundreds of third- and fourth-graders from the Evergreen and Vancouver districts celebrated their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds at the annual Children's Cultural Parade on Friday at the Fort Vancouver National Site.

Accompanied by marching bands, more than 1,500 children marched around the historic grounds.
