With 70 years of history under its belt, the Scottsdale Parada del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival rides into town featuring more than 125 lively entries including colorful floats, mounted horse-riders, horse-drawn carriage, school marching bands, wagons and stagecoaches representing many cultures from Mexican to Native American to Arabian to Western. 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.
This year’s event theme is 25 Reasons to Love Parada Del Sol in 2025, which will be weaved into the day's festivities.
Parada del Sol events will be taking place rain or shine.
The parade follows a route from Drinkwater Blvd. along Scottsdale Rd., finishing at Brown Ave. and Indian School Rd. Trail’s End Festival is held in the Historic Old Town district.
Western Week is a week-long celebration from January 25 - February 2, 2025. Discover all Western Week events and saddle up for a good ole time!
