LUTHER BURBANK ROSE PARADE AND FESTIVAL
May 18th, 2019 Festival Start: 9AM Parade Start: 10AM
Celebrating 125 Years!
The theme for this year's Parade is simple and straight to the point as we look back over the long history of the parade, the people that have marched or participated in the parade as a child or with a non-profit organization, and the impact it has had on our community over the years as we celebrate Sonoma County and the best it has to offer – from award-winning floats, marching groups, and non-profit organizations to school bands, service organizations and wacky marching groups.
May 18th will fill the streets of Downtown Santa Rosa with themed entries saluting the last 125 years and looking forward to the future.
