31st Annual Balboa Island Parade
Event Details
The 31st Annual Balboa Island Parade rolls down Marine Avenue on May 31st at 11:00 am in a joyful blend of color, sound, and community spirit. Join us for our After-Party concert following the parade with surf tunes and dancing in front of the fire station. With the theme “Good Vibrations on Balboa Island,” the celebration pulses with energy as the school bands fill the air with music, festive floats glide past cheering crowds, surf bands bring a beachy groove, and the horses are a delight that kids of all ages enjoy watching. Dignitaries wave from classic cars, locals line the sidewalks, and for one perfect day, the island hums with nothing but good vibes. It all begins on the Balboa Island Bridge and continues down Marine Avenue. Wear your beachy attire, grab your beach chairs, and join us for a fun day with family and friends!
