Calling all kids, bicycles, creative teams, neighbors, marching bands and civic-minded groups! Big and small, young and old, all are welcome! March in Santa Monica's Fourth of July 2008 Parade on Main Street! Spectators Welcome! The parade starts Friday, July 4th at 9:30 AM in front of the Santa Monica Civic Center.

The parade route goes South on Main Street from Pico, turns right on Marine, and heads north on Barnard Way to the southernmost beach parking lot to disperse. Last year we had people all of ages walk the 1.7 mile parade route with no difficulty. However, please make sure you are physically capable of walking the entire route if you are registering to walk in the parade. There is no stopping once the parade begins.
