Our 2026 parade theme celebrates the 13 full moons that will light up our skies throughout the year.
We’ll be visiting local schools to explore how the moon influences our environment, and we’d love for you to join us at our community making days—Festival Fundays. Come along to create your own moon-inspired costume for the opening parade and learn our community mass dance, The Big Bang Boogie.
Festival Fundays
Join us at East Point Pavilion where we’ll be making moons, planets, and headdresses to wear in the parade and learning The Big Bang Boogie.
