Kick off your Fourth of July celebration in Monterey with a lively and colorful parade through the heart of downtown. This beloved annual event brings together over 15,000 attendees for a patriotic morning filled with decorated floats, local marching bands, dance teams, and creative community displays.
The parade begins promptly at 10:00 AM at the intersection of Alvarado and Pearl Streets, continuing through the Old Monterey District.
Plan ahead and take advantage of nearby public parking at the West Garage, East Garage, or Lot 7 (entrance on Pacific Avenue).
Make it a full holiday weekend by staying local and enjoying everything Monterey has to offer.
