The Scottsdale Parada del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival is “back in the saddle" after a one-year hiatus.
With nearly 70 years of history under its belt, the Scottsdale Parada del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival is “back in the saddle” (the event’s theme!) this year after a one year hiatus. Dan Harkins serves as Grand Marshall of the parade that features more than 125 lively entries including colorful floats, mounted horse-riders, horse-drawn carriages, school marching bands, wagons and stagecoaches representing many cultures from Mexican and Native American to Arabian and Western.
**The parade follows a route from Drinkwater Boulevard along Scottsdale Road, finishing at Brown Avenue and Indian School Road.**
Immediately following the parade, the Historic Old Town district transforms into a massive Western-style block party with a kids’ zone, food trucks, merchandise vendors, and multiple stages with live entertainment, including concerts from today’s popular bands to traditional performers.
