The 4th of July Parade is an important annual event in Downtown Monterey. It's consistently the most fun, family-friendly way to celebrate our love for our community, our country, and the many joys of summer.

This event is presented by the small but mighty staff of the nonprofit Old Monterey Business Association (OMBA). But we can't do it alone! Did you know it costs us $40,000 to put on the parade every year? (Yes, it blows our minds, too.) And when it comes to paying the bills for the parade, we can use all the help we can get.

Individual Donations

Would you like to make a tax-deductible donation to keep this beloved event going strong? The OMBA and our parade partner, the Old Monterey Foundation, now welcome donations by members of the community up to $249.
