The 27th Annual Petaluma Butter & Egg Day April 26, 2008

Petaluma’s Butter & Eggs Parade and Celebration is a quarter-century old tradition in Downtown Petaluma, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural history as the birthplace of the incubator, which was the beginning of Petaluma’s “Egg Basket To The World” title, and as one of the premier dairy regions in the country. Together with The Petaluma River, eggs and dairy products created an economy that turned Petaluma into one of the most prosperous communities in the state in the early 1900’s.

The Butter & Egg Days Parade and Celebration typically draws over 25,000 attendees. The community parade showcases the best of Petaluma and Petaluma’s history. The 100-unit parade will have over 3,000 participants, more than a hundred volunteers, and support from every aspect of community life. The spectators see floats, drill teams, novelty units, equestrian units, marching bands, and much more.

Activities before, during and after the parade include a block-long outdoor food court offering a wide variety of festival foods and beverages, a large area of arts and crafts exhibitors and a special area of activities to entertain youngsters with inflatables, rides, and hands-on activities. Don’t miss this great opportunity to participate in one of the North Bay’s largest events.
