Welcome to the updated 2010 City of Alameda Parade Website.

For those of you new to the parade this year, let us provide you with a sampling of what to expect: a seemingly endless procession of marching bands, floats, politicians, art cars, Cub Scouts on bikes, church groups, fez-wearing secret societies, gymnasts, dancers, martial-arts students, banjo pickers, hula dancers, and more. So much more that residents like to say half of the population participates in the parade while the other half lines the streets to watch.

Last year’s winners are listed in the column on the right and we expect another great year of high competition.

Look throughout the site and you will find the application for the parade, the parade route, and recommended detours for the day of the parade.

Consider submitting your applications online!
