UP COMING PARADES, PARTIES and FESTIVALS

 The DeSoto Grand Parade is one of the Southeast's largest and oldest parades, held annually in late April in Bradenton, Florida, as the finale of the Heritage Festival. The evening event features over 150 illuminated floats, marching bands, and costumed members throwing beads and coins, drawing roughly 200,000 spectators. 

The Krewe of Europa continues their European celebrations at the historic Tartan Parade.  This exciting event will bring together tartans, pipe bands, dancers, musicians, organizations, and individuals from Edinburgh, as well as across Scotland, and beyond – to celebrate the country’s rich heritage, tartans, culture and inclusivity.  

Halloween is celebrated globally. We have appeared in festivities in Europe and North America. The Krewe of Europa has been invited to celebrate in an amazing communty based Halloween parade in Porthmouth NH.

Hundreds march in costume, thousands cheer from the sidelines, it’s always a spectacle from either side of the curb.  

 The 47th Annual Ocean Beach Holiday Parade in San Diego, set for December 5, 2025, is a free, festive community event featuring over 100 eclectic, community-driven floats, surf-themed Santas, and local bands on Newport Avenue. Known for its casual and eccentric "OB" style, the parade often includes themes like "Galactic Holiday Beach Bash"
