The fog proved to be a buzzkill for the crowds that flocked to the waterfront Sunday to catch the Blue Angels' final Fleet Week performance. The marine layer's stubborn refusal to dissipate forced officials to cancel the popular show. But a little fog couldn't dampen the spirits of the thousands who congregated just up the hill in North Beach to enjoy another of the weekend’s colorful spectacles, the 154th San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade.

The longest continuously running parade of its kind in the U.S., the annual event celebrates the contributions and culture of Italian Americans in the Bay Area and beyond. Randy DeMartini and Larry Mazzola, Jr. served as this year’s grand marshals. DeMartini is executive director of the Salesian Boys & Girls Club, an anchor of the North Beach community. The club provides kids with access to school activities, enrichment programs and other services.
