SUPPORT THIS INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
The article you’re about to read is from our reporters doing their important work — investigating, researching, and writing their stories. We want to provide informative and inspirational stories that connect you to the people, issues and opportunities within our community. Journalism requires lots of resources. Today, our business model has been interrupted by the pandemic; the vast majority of our advertisers’ businesses have been impacted. That’s why The Capistrano Dispatch is now turning to you for financial support. Learn more about our new Insider’s program here. Thank you.
For more than five decades, San Juan Capistrano has celebrated the legendary migration of the cliff swallows from Argentina each spring with annual events and festivities, including one of the nation’s largest non-motorized parades.
This year marks the 57th annual Swallows Day Parade taking place in downtown San Juan Capistrano—a two-hour spectacle filled with more than 130 entries, 3,800 people on foot, 500 horses, 23 floats and nine marching bands.
Check out The Capistrano Dispatch’s special “Swallows Day in San Juan” insert for tips on navigating your way through this year’s many events, including the annual Mercado Street Faire. And don’t forget to pencil in the Wild West-themed festivities leading up to the big day!
