Welcome!
San Juan Capistrano

The Swallows Day Parade is one of the nation’s largest non-motorized parades and draws interest worldwide.

A message from our San Juan Capistrano
Fiesta Association President

Fiesta Association President: Jim Taylor

Hello. I’m San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association President Jim Taylor.  Being the leader of our historic association for the past six years has certainly had its challenges. We survived Covid and an Equine Virus over the past few years.  We are strengthened by the support of our totally awesome city council and numerous local corporate sponsors who did not request a refund when the parade was cancelled.  Our organization is so grateful to our community for supporting us. I am convinced this is because, through challenging times, the Swallows Day Parade has always brought us together in one large celebration of the incredible history of our beautiful city. We simply ask that you continue your support as we prepare for the
64th annual Swallows Day Parade and events in 2024.
Our Theme this year is – SADDLE UP SAN JUAN !

Meet Your 2023-2024 Board Of Directors

A Big Thank You to our
San Juan Capistrano
Fiesta Association 2024 Sponsors

Thank you Kevin Middletown, 1st VP Regional Manager of Farmers and Merchants Bank their generous 20,000 donation to the
SJC Fiesta Association. They are the
2024 Fiesta de Las Golondrinas sponsor!

The SJC Fiesta Association receives our “Blessing” from our very supportive SJC City Council
for the 2023 Swallows Day Parade and Events.

We were also joined by the OC Sheriff’s Department, the OC Fire Department, and the entire City Council in honoring Ambuehl Elementary School student Edward with many gifts for his bravery in recovering from a brain tumor. His family was truly grateful. One of his most awesome gifts will be to ride on a Fire Engine with the Sheriff’s and Fire Department in the 2023 Swallows Day Parade on Saturday, March 25th. The Fiesta Association also declared him an honorary Fiesta member with his own Hat, Vest, and Sheriff’s Badge. Our 2023 Senior San Juan Fiesta representatives, Daniele Smith and John “Fish” Fischle also gifted Mayor Hart with a 2023 Fiesta Association Belt Buckle. Wow! What a meeting!
