  • Parade Entry

    Parade Entries postmarked after June 4 cannot be accepted

    The Northern California Parade Judges Association has requested we submit the lineup at least three weeks prior to the 4th of July. This deadline date allows our volunteers to properly process applications and prepare the lineup.

    Equestrian judging will follow the California State Horsemen’s Association Parade Rules. Horses must be “parade ready,” and able to accept parade noises and activities and remain calm for safety reasons.

  • Sponsor

    Every dollar counts, every dollar goes to the production of the parade, every dollar is appreciated!

    Our award winning program is mailed to all 18,000 homes & business in Morgan Hill 95037 as well as locations around town with a large walk-in customer base.
