2024 Grand Marshall
Matt Gaffney
We are sad to see the passing of such a wonderful member of our SJC community, Matt Gaffney. But we have joy that he was the 2024 Grand Marshal of the 64th annual Swallows Day Parade. RIP Matt.
The 2024 Swallows Day Parade is “Rain or Shine”
Our 2024 Swallows Day Parade was full of surprises! At the beginning of the parade the rain began to fall and after it was over the sun shined. The last time the parade was rained on was 1994. But this did not deter the mission of the SJC Fiesta Association to be the positive force that kept pushing forward to present a wonderful parade for our wonderful community. Our awesome parade entries also pushed forward to give the soaked crowd a truly entertaining show. Our president Jim Taylor is known for walking out on the street during the parade and interviewing participants. Our parade photographer, Rick Valasek, captured this amazing photo of Jim interviewing a young girl in the rain. Sometimes beauty shines from challenging circumstances. It truly did in this beautiful moment. The Fiesta Association also wants to thank those who came and stayed to support the parade and cheer on us and our talented entries. We truly thank all of you!

Meet Your 2023-2024 Board Of Directors
The SJC Fiesta Association receives our “Blessing” from our very supportive SJC City Council
for the 2024 Swallows Day Parade and Events.
On Tuesday, March 19th, St Josephs Day, the SJC City Council officially recognized the Fiesta Association and the Fiesta De Las Golondrinas for the 2024 season. For the first time, members of the Round About Players, led by Gary McCarver, made sure that Mayor Farias acted in an honorable fashion as he officially approved of the Swallows Day Parade season with all of the events. Mayor Farias was also given an official 2024 Fiesta Association belt buckle for making the right decision:) Thank you SJC City Council for your support! Photos courtesy of Rick Valasek.
