Mountain Festival Parade

Nick Smirnoff (NPPA).

The parade is the perfect way to start Mountain Festival weekend.

Tehachapi knows how to put on a parade, and the Tehachapi Mountain Festival® Parade never fails to impress.

Each year, nearly 75 small businesses, organizations, youth groups and others take part in the parade. You'll also see Tehachapi's queens, rodeo stars, marching bands, color guards, local celebrities and more.

The parade will start at 10 a.m. at the intersection of F and Mulberry streets on Saturday, Aug. 17 and will end at Philip Marx Central Park, allowing viewers to follow the parade to the Arts and Crafts Fair, live music, Beer Garden, food trucks and fun zone.

Parade entries are judged by the Parade Committee and winners will be announced at 1:30 p.m. at Central Park. Don't miss this fun community event!
