Butter and Eggs Day Parade 40th Ruby Jubilee

The Petaluma Downtown Association is thrilled to announce Petaluma’s
cherished Butter & Eggs Day will be celebrating its Ruby Jubilee. This year’s theme, "There’s
No Place Like Home", gives people an opportunity to showcase all that they love about our
congenial and welcoming city.

The 2023 parade highlights 40 years of tradition in Petaluma and is an opportunity to celebrate
our community, our history, and our great sense of fun! This year we ask entrants to
incorporate artistic visions from the Land of OZ (or Petaluma), Ruby Slippers, yellow brick road
or anything that depicts the theme "There’s No Place Like Home", also not forgetting it's Earth
Day. This year’s parade should inspire and bring smiles to the masses. It’s our day to shine,
celebrate with our community, and show off all the wonderful qualities Petaluma is known for
that makes it the best place to call home.
