Historic Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in Danville Celebrates 50 Years
Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley (Kiwanis SRV) is celebrating its 50th year as organizer and host of the historic Kiwanis 4th of July Parade, in partnership with the Town of Danville. Presented by Alamo Ace Hardware, the parade will be held on Friday, July 4, 2025.
The long-standing, hugely popular parade—Kiwanis SRV’s signature fundraiser—annually draws more than 125 parade entries and more than 40,000 spectators from local neighborhoods and regional communities, making it one of the largest 4th of July parties in the San Francisco Bay Area. Celebrants line the parade route (often reserving spots the night before), 9am to noon, from San Ramon Valley High School south along Hartz Avenue to Town and County Drive for a day of patriotic celebration and family fun.
To recognize the 50th anniversary of the Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in Danville, this year’s parade theme is Celebrating 50 years of Community Service. Named the 2025 Parade Grand Marshal, Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano is also celebrating 50 years of community service.
Though steeped in history and tradition, the Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in Danville continues to stay fresh and contemporary, showcasing the best of Danville—its community spirit and welcoming nature.
Scout units lead off the parade, followed by floats spotlighting local businesses and service clubs; high school marching bands and rock bands on flatbed trucks; classic cars and big trucks; military and Veterans organizations; spirit and cheer squads; youth sports such as Little League and taekwondo demonstration teams; dignitaries and elected officials; neighborhood groups wrapped in red, white, and blue; and more.
Funds raised through parade sponsorships go toward the Kiwanis SRV Grants Program, which provides grants to local and regional nonprofits, oftentimes funding projects that would otherwise go unrealized. Since 1995, Kiwanis SRV has presented grants totaling more than $1,150,000 to more than 120 Tri-Valley area nonprofit organizations.
