Rain Update: The promoters have said this event is rain or shine.

The theme for this year’s Parade is “Simple and Straight,” looking 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, and non-profit organizations to school bands, service organizations and wacky marching groups.
