Rose, White and Blue Party

The 13th Annual Rose, White and Blue 4th of July Parade and Festival (RW&B Parade and Festival) on The Alameda is the longest running parade of its kind in San José.  Its history dates back to the tradition of the Rose Parades in the 1920s and 1930s, at which point the Fiesta de las Rosas was the largest parade in San José. This historic parade attracted more than 500,000 spectators and was equal in stature to Pasadena's "Rose Parade." Now into our second decade of parades, in this contemporary iteration, we have created a true legacy of happy memories for our neighbors and for visitors of San José. Every year this free to attend parade and festival grows and becomes a family tradition in San José and a destination for people of the greater SF Bay Area.
