2026 May Fete Parade

"Not All Heros Wear Capes!"

Gather your friends and family and join us as we recognize and celebrate the folks in our community, who use their talents each day to improve our quality of life. Honor a hero or heros in your community, is the theme this year! 

Walk in the parade along University Ave or watch it go by, then head over to Heritage Park for the fair.

Use your float making skills to possibly take-home some big prizes! Showcase your group, team, neighborhood, or extracurricular activity as you honor a community hero. No group? Feel free to walk with City of Palo Alto's Friends, Family & Pets category.
