Gather up your western attire, lawn chairs and family members, the 64th Annual Parada del Sol Parade & Trail’s End Festival is coming to Downtown Scottsdale on Saturday, February 11th, 2017 at 10am!

Since its start in 1983, the Parada del Sol has grown to be one of the world’s longest horse-drawn parades and boasts more than 150 entries, including floats, bands and individual riders.

This year’s theme for the parade is the “Stars of Scottsdale,” which recognizes the leadership families of Scottsdale. Some of these leaders include historian Marshall Trimble (this year’s parade marshal), the Corral family and the George Cavalliere family. Also in attendance, will be a newly re-created group, the “Howdy Dudettes.” These women were the greeters and goodwill ambassadors for the parade in the 1960s.

The annual parade & community celebration of Western Week attracts over 30,000 people and provides an opportunity to showcase the history, participating school groups, bands, live musical entertainment, food, great shopping and a Cowboy Kids’ Area with games, pony rides, a petting zoo and so much more!  Plan on being in downtown Scottsdale all day with your friends to experience Arizona’s old west entertainment. The event is free for all ages and begins at Scottsdale Road & Drinkwater Boulevard in in Downtown Scottsdale.
