Who remembers the Fiesta del Sol parade in Lake Worth?

Today's Palm Beach Post features an excellent article about Lake Worth history. Eliot Kleinberg has a question from a reader and here is the link to the story with the answer. The question is:
Question: “My mom passed away (recently) and while going through her things I found several scrapbooks that she kept during the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s … I came across this clipping for something called the Fiesta del Sol Parade. It sounds like a huge event … Was this a one-time parade or an annual event that stopped before the ’60s?” — Carole A. Morey, Palm Springs
The archives of the Post and The Lake Worth Herald were used to answer the question. For those of you unaware, the Herald is the oldest business in the City of Lake Worth, established in 1912.
