Parade Registration

Please join us this year in celebrating our 30th Annual Balboa Island Parade on Sunday June 1st at 11:00 am and our Fire Station #4 opening, 30 years ago. The theme is “Celebrating 30 Years on Balboa Island-A Tribute to Our First Responders”. Whether you are a participant or a spectator, we want to see all your Island spirit helping us thank our firefighters, police, paramedics, harbor patrol and lifeguards that keep us safe on Balboa Island. So, wear your red, white, and blue, bring your beach chairs and let’s celebrate!

Our “After Party” concert immediately following the parade this year will feature local band “M Street” located on stage in front of the fire station. Enjoy a fun day with family and friends!
