SEATTLE - Thousands of people lined the streets of downtown Seattle for the Torchlight Parade Saturday night, and with them came a huge police presence. The parade starts in the evening, close to dusk, which gives it the name. The Torchlight Parade is usually held on either the last Saturday in July or the first Saturday in August. The first parade was held on August 12, 1950, in the afternoon, as the Seafair Grande Parade. The parade is one of the original Seafair events dating to the 1950 centennial celebration. The Torchlight Parade is the finale in a long series of parades around the greater Seattle area under the auspices of Seafair, a Seattle summertime celebration.
