The San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association is an independent and entirely volunteer non-profit
organization of approximately 300 members. Our main purpose is to organize and present to the
people of
San Juan Capistrano
and surrounding communities the annual
Swallows Day Parade.
The fame of this event and the yearly return of the Swallows have reached
all parts of the world.
The 51st presentation of the Swallows' Day Parade and
Mercado
will be on Saturday, March 21, 2009.
The Swallows' Day Parade is part of the larger Fiesta de las Golondrinas or
Festival of the Swallows. During this three-month Fiesta de las Golondrinas, the Fiesta Association
is responsible for various fund raising and community activities. Some of the activities and events
include:
the New Membership Mixer,
the Taste of San Juan,
the Kids Pet Parade,
the Presidente Ball,
the Fiesta Grande
which includes
the Hairiest Man & Soiled Dove Contests
and the infamous
Hoos'Gow Day
and culminating with the
Swallows Day Parade
and
Mercado.
We invite you to join and be involved with the
