By Atascadero News · Mon Sep 15 2025

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Colony Days Parade and Festival will take place on Saturday, November 15, moving from its traditional October date to coincide with Atascadero’s Fall Festival downtown.

Celebrating over 51 years of local tradition, the event will now combine floats, marching bands, community groups, carnival rides, music, and vendors for a full weekend of family-friendly fun. Organizers say the new date ensures the parade continues to thrive for future generations while partnering with En Fuego Events and the City of Atascadero brings additional resources and energy to the celebration.

Parade entry is free, volunteers are welcome, and historic civic and non-profit vendors are encouraged to participate.
