Annual Swallows Parade -
The Swallows' Day Parade is a RAIN or SHINE event
The 2009 Swallows Day Parade will be held on March 21th. The Fiesta de la Golondrinas celebrates the legend of the return of the swallows to the San Juan Capistrano Mission on St. Joseph's, March 19th. This event is the reason behind all the festivities.
The Parade takes place in down-town San Juan Capistrano. This is the nation's largest non-motorized parade. It is totally organized and presented by the San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association. Arrive early; most street closures are by 10.00 a.m. The parade begins promptly at 11 am.
Traditionally, it is a fun, family event that celebrates the return of the swallows. Call (949) 493-1976 for more information.
