Letter from the Aptos Chamber President
Happy Fourth of July to my fellow Aptosians! That means it is time for our famous World’s Shortest Parade where this year we celebrate the 62nd anniversary.
What a year we had here in Aptos with the unprecedented storms that led to damage to our beloved Seacliff State Beach, a visit from President Biden, and eventually, the removal of the historic pier leading to the S.S. Palo Alto.

Handling the details and visioning the future for Seacliff State Beach, are the folks from Friends of State Parks. This year we honor them as our Grand Marshals
Besides our Grand Marshals, our fun parade has classic cars, local bands, cheer and dance teams, classic tractors and a whole lot more. (you may even see a pig or a turtle walking their owner!) After the parade, head down to the Aptos Village Park for a ton of fun! lots of vendors, food and drink options, kids activities as well as live music from The Lost Boys featuring James Durbin! Don’t forget to stop by the chamber office to pick up this year’s commemorative 4th of July t-shirt featuring Birdie, one of our town’s regular dogs seen around town!
I am honored to be this year’s Aptos Chamber president. I have been blessed to have been able to raise my children Danielle and Gavin here in Aptos and be an integral part of this great community.
If you DO make it to the parade, be sure and stop by and say hi beforehand. I’ll be at the beginning directing traffic as always with the megaphone! (those that know me say it isn’t needed though) Happy 4th of July to all!
Sincerely,
President, Aptos Chamber of Commerce Director of Operations, Santa Cruz Sentinel
