The Swallows Day Parade
The colorful parade, Saturday’s main event, kicks off at 11 a.m. and will be followed by a parade awards ceremony at 2 p.m., back in the Historic Town Center Park during the Mercado Street Faire. As it makes its way through downtown San Juan Capistrano, the non-motorized parade features horse-drawn floats, carriages, wagons, plenty of music and demonstrations.
Stay in San Juan Capistrano and Enjoy the Town After the Parade
Once the horses and paradegoers are finished passing through, that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. San Juan Capistrano is an up-and-coming town with plenty of things to do and enjoy, including in the growing downtown area. There are plenty of restaurants for dining, antique shops for shopping, or you can visit Los Rios Park if you want some peace and quiet after the festivities (and to snap some scenic pictures). And, of course, you can always pay a visit to the historic landmark Mission San Juan Capistrano or Swallow’s Inn if you’re craving some adult beverages and Western music and dancing.
