City of Trees Parade and Mardi Gras Festival

The Curiosity Collaborative is excited to announce the third annual City of Trees Parade and Mardi Gras Festival! The City of Trees Parade is a dazzling showcase of Sacramento’s rich diversity and culture! This parade will have three different waves of performers and include 1,500 people, to be the biggest Mardi Gras parade in California!

Join in on the afternoon festival on Capitol Mall. There will be live performances, interactive exhibits, food trucks, local vendors, and a beverage garden to wet your whistle and help us raise funds for this non-profit event. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and you’ll be able to watch our fantastic parade as it rolls down Capitol Mall in two waves at approximately 3PM and sunset. You’ll see marching bands, classic cars, costumed pets, and light-up art cars from Burning Man!

Be sure to also check out the City of Trees **PET** Parade! This paws-itively unique event will feature hundreds of local pets dressed in their Mardi Gras best. Bring your beloved pet in costume, and even enter into a costume contest where fabulous prizes await you! More details will come soon, so be sure to follow @cityoftreesparade
