The purpose of the pilgrimage is to encourage youth to dedicate themselves to the principles held by Abraham Lincoln and our founding fathers, according to volunteer coordinator Don Buchanan of Redlands .

Lincoln Pilgrimage youth participants will be primarily from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties , however, young people from Los Angeles to San Diego counties also have registered to take part.

The pilgrimage parade starts at 10 a.m. with participants walking from the Redlands High School baseball field area, at the corner of Citrus Street and University Avenue, traveling west on Citrus Street through downtown Redlands to Eureka Street, turning south and heading to the Redlands Bowl for a free historical presentation and music, beginning at about 11a.m.
