Easter Parade

Sunday, April 1st, 2018 3:00 pm

This tradition began in St. Augustine in 1956. Held on Easter Sunday each year, the Parada de Los Caballos y Coches (Parade of Horses and Carriages) is a family-friendly parade that features St. Augustine’s Royal Family, the Easter Bunny, clowns, marching bands, drill teams, and community floats. The parade begins at 27 Ocean Avenue, just north of the Mission of Nombre de Dios, heads south along San Marco Avenue and ends near the bayfront. This year’s Grand Marshall is Sarah Veng, Miss Florida.

Parade Route

After the Parade, locals and visitors are invited to the Colonial Oak Outdoor Theatre for the Parade Awards and Fromajadas. Fromajadas are a tasty Menorcan-Spanish cheese pastry.
