Boasting more than one hundred entries, Novato Parade is one of the largest in the San Francisco Bay Area! Early in the morning on the 4th, crowds line Novato’s Grant Avenue where the parade begins in the city’s Old Town district.

Parade-goers arrive early to watch the pageant of classic cars and color guards, festive floats and music bands, fancy cowgirls on golden palominos, and decorated basset hounds.

The Parade begins at Reichert and Grant Avenue and ends at 7th and Grant Avenue.

Kick off the 4th with the Buckaroo Breakfast, 7:00AM -10:00AM. at the Redwood Credit Union parking lot at 1010 Grant Ave, The always smiling & eager volunteers from the Presbyterian Church of Novato will serve coffee, orange juice, pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee and milk, to raise funds for the nonprofit North Marin Community Services. The suggested donation is $7.00 per person for everyone 5 years & older. Breakfast is free for children under 5 years old.

Free, pre-Parade entertainment, starts at 9:00 AM & ends at 10:00 AM when the Parade begins. These are “warm-up” acts that get us all into a festive mood. If you arrive early – and you should – you (& especially children) will enjoy many wonderful entertainers.
