Children's Fiesta Parade

Body

Celebrating its 94th year, the Children's Fiesta Parade is a beloved tradition of the week-long Old Spanish Days Fiesta celebration. Parents, families, and friends decorate their own floats, carts, and wagons for this fun, foot-powered parade. Participants often wear colorful Spanish and Mexican-inspired attire, while music and dance performances add to the festive atmosphere.

Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Parade Route: The parade begins near Cabrillo Boulevard and Calle Puerto Vallarta and ends near Cabrillo Boulevard and the Casa Las Palmas entrance.
