Floats, vintage cars, and marching bands will once again line Sunrise Blvd on Saturday, June 25th. Participants in the City of Citrus Heights’ 17th Annual Red, White and Blue Parade include the Wells Fargo Stagecoach, exciting dance teams and many supporting Citrus Heights’ local businesses.

This annual event attracts thousands of local patriotic onlookers from surrounding communities. Be sure to arrive earlier to get a good seat! The parade starts at 9am and proceeds along Sunrise Blvd. north of Madison at Uplands Way to the northwest corner of the Sunrise Mall parking lot at Greenback and is sponsored by the City of Citrus Heights, Republic Services, Sunrise Mall, Sunrise Marketplace, 101.9 The Wolf, and Hot 103.5.

Some of the many musical highlights this year are the Capitol Pops Concert Band and the local Citrus Heights Community Marching Band. There will be a $100 music gift certificate awarded to a musical entry courtesy of Tague Band Instrument Service.

From 8am to noon people can enjoy a delicious $5 pancake breakfast, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Citrus Heights in the Sunrise Mall northwest parking lot.
