The 2012 Swallows' Day Parade will be held
on Saturday, March 24th. The Parade is
part of the Fiesta de la Golondrinas celebrating the legend of the return of the swallows to the San
Juan Capistrano Mission on St. Joseph's Day, March 19th.
The theme for this year's 54th Swallows' Day Parade is
'How the West was Fun!'
The
Swallows' Day Parade is the nation's largest non-motorized parade. It is
organized and presented by the San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association and takes
place right in down-town San Juan Capistrano.
The Parade and Mercado can be a full day of family fun,
celebrating the Old West and the return of the swallows from their winter home
in Argentina. Arrive early, as most street closures
are in effect by 10:00 a.m. with the parade beginning promptly at 11 a.m.!
