 Petaluma’s Butter & Eggs Parade and Celebration is a quarter-century old tradition in Downtown Petaluma, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural history as the birthplace of the incubator, which was the beginning of Petaluma’s “Egg Basket To The World” title, and as one of the premier dairy regions in the country. Together with The Petaluma River, eggs and dairy products created an economy that turned Petaluma into one of the most prosperous communities in the state in the early 1900’s.
