Clowns, balloons, a carousel and men on stilts marched down El Paseo Sunday as part of the Palm Desert Golf Parade.

(also known as Marty Funkhouser) led the parade as Grand Marshall shortly after 1 p.m.

The parade likely drew a record crowd of more than 15,000, according to organizers.

Check our photo gallery above and submit your own photos of the parade.

Were there no golf carts from local golfers? Too bad photos were of everything but . . .
