From Visit Napa Valley:
A star-spangled day of fun and tradition. This year’s Star Spangled Social & Parade 2025 promises a full day of small-town charm, family fun, and festive spirit, all set against the backdrop of Calistoga’s beautiful summer scenery.
- A Parade Steeped in Tradition: Calistoga’s beloved Fourth of July Parade returns, continuing a tradition over 100 years in the making! This year’s theme, “The American Dream,” invites the community to reflect on hope, unity, and celebration. The parade kicks off at 11:00 AM along Lincoln Avenue and features an incredible array of floats, dancers, horses, and local groups showing off their patriotic pride and creativity. Route: Parade lines up on Cedar, turns left on Lincoln, then left on Fairway, and finishes at North Oak.
- Star Spangled Social & Maker’s Market – 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Pioneer Park: Stick around after the parade for the Star Spangled Social at Pioneer Park—a community celebration filled with live music, delicious food, artisan vendors, and entertainment for all ages. The popular Maker’s Market is back, featuring local crafts and unique handmade goods, perfect for browsing while you enjoy a bite from one of the tasty food vendors.
- Family Fun Zones for All Ages: Kids and teens can dive into the action with two specially designed zones for safe and age-appropriate fun:
- Kid Zone (0–12 years-ish): Bounce houses, games, and supervised play.
- Teen Zone (12 years-ish and up): Climbing wall, mechanical bull, and more high-energy fun.
- If you're unsure about which area is best for your child, our friendly PartyJump staff will be there to help you choose the safest and most enjoyable option.
- Don’t miss the carnival-style skill games, run by local volunteers and service groups. Wristbands for bounce houses and tickets for games will be available at the event. Proceeds go directly to support the hosting organizations—so your fun helps the community too!
- Evening Performances & Laser Light Show: As the sun sets, get ready to dance the night away with live performances and a truly spectacular laser light show designed by the talented team at ELS Lasers.
