Thank you for participating in the 2026 Carpinteria - Independence Day Parade, on Saturday, June 27th at 3:30 PM!

This year’s parade is shaping up to be spectacular, featuring 30+ unique entries and over 500 enthusiastic participants. Thank you for bringing your creativity & spirit to this beloved event.

Due to the number of participants, many of whom are children, we are asking that those with larger vehicles arrive between 2:45PM and 3:00PM to set up their vehicles in the appropriate location.

If your organization is walking, we ask you to arrive shortly after 3:00 PM to check in. Your entire group does NOT need to be with you to check in!

If your group has many children, please encourage families to arrive at your designated location around 3:15-3:25PM. There is a lot of waiting so we want to ensure we have the room and flexibility to maneuver some of the larger vehicles/groups safely.

The parade is occurring after the Rods & Roses Car Show which ends at 2:00PM so Linden Avenue will be quite busy with car enthusiasts and their vehicles exiting the street. Safety is the utmost importance so again, we’d highly encourage waiting to arrive in the staging area after 3:00PM if you are walking and have children.
