Parade registration for 2026 opens July 1st – August 31st.
Can you say Semiquincentennial? The theme for this year’s Pacific Coast Fog Fest Parade is “Happy 250th Anniversary, America.” This milestone marks two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The parade will honor our nation’s history, the sacrifices of those who have defended our freedom, and the diverse contributions of all Americans.
To celebrate, we encourage all participants to decorate their vehicles and dress in patriotic colors. Prizes will be awarded in four categories for the most creative tributes to this historic anniversary.
