Rose, White & Blue Parade and Festival Returns to San Jose on July 4

The Rose, White & Blue Parade and Festival will mark its 19th year in San Jose on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Organizers have shaped the event as a community gathering that reframes traditional Independence Day celebrations around themes of equality, justice, and inclusion for the city’s multicultural population.

Through anti-racist education programs, partnerships, and public displays, the parade and festival will highlight efforts to address systemic racism and promote humane treatment across communities. The day will blend festivity with meaningful dialogue, allowing participants and spectators to engage with ideas of patriotism that center advocacy and opportunity for everyone.

This longstanding event continues to provide residents with a distinctive way to observe July 4th, one that emphasizes community strength and shared commitment to dismantling prejudice while enjoying the spirit of togetherness.

The parade starts at 9:45am and is followed by a festival from 11am-2pm. The Rose, White & Blue Parade and Festival is free and appropriate for all ages. For more information, visit the Rose, White & Blue website.
