SLIDESHOW: A wild (and wet) Highlands Day

Only minutes after an MC announced Highlands Day's opening parade had commenced, the celebration was hit by a fierce bout of rain.

Highlands Day 2015, the Issaquah Highlands’ neighborhood carnival, took place Saturday at Village Green Park.

Only minutes after an MC announced Highlands Day’s opening parade had commenced, the celebration was hit by a fierce bout of rain related to a regional summer storm. But the setback didn’t last long — rain gave way to intense sunshine before settling into calm gray skies.

Check out the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter’s photos of the event above.
