This week in the Montrose Shopping Park, the American flags are out and red, white and blue is the color story in all of our shop windows. The Fourth of July is known for its pool parties, family cookouts, fireworks and, of course, the Montrose Car Show!

Veruca Salt women’s boutique can get you ready for the holiday with a cute patriotic T-shirt, a festive pool cover-up or a show-stopping summer dress. While you are there, grab a pair of Quay sunglasses, a “wet bikini” bag and an American flag round towel. And don’t forget to pick up a pack of sparklers to really light up your celebration!

If you skip just a few doors down you can pick up charming outfits for your littles at It Takes A Village Kids. Red gingham dresses, blue and white striped nautical wear and bathing suits come in sizes 3 months to 14 years.

For a great mommy and me look, head into Bellies, Babies and Bosoms for expecting mamas and baby patriots. They have red, white and blue baby headbands and rompers. Coordinating maternity tanks and teething beads are available for festive mamas.

This week our Sunday Harvest Market is relocating in order to bring you the exciting Montrose Car Show featuring classic cars and hot rods. In addition to the car show our regular Sunday market farmers will be set up along Honolulu Avenue from Market Street east to Verdugo Road with delicious dragon fruit, sun-kissed tomatoes, summer squash and, of course, watermelon for your 4th of July barbecue! For your musical entertainment, the patriotic sounds of cowboy guitarist Carmine Zeccardi will be featured … one of our Market favorites.

So many stars and cars to see in Montrose this week! Shop and dine local for all of your Independence Day weekend wear, gear and eats! Happy 4th!
