The Scottsdale Charros are pleased to announce the date of the 71st Annual Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival. This community event which takes place throughout Old Town Scottsdale will kick off with the parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday Feb. 1 2025. The popular Trail’s End Festival an extravaganza of Western-themed fun for the whole family runs from noon to 4 p.m.

 

The Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade follows a route from Drinkwater Blvd. along Scottsdale Rd. and culminates at Brown Ave. and Indian School Rd. Following the parade Scottsdale’s Old Town Historic District is transformed into a massive Western-style street party for the Trail’s End Festival.

 

“We are thrilled that the Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade continues to be such a beloved community tradition” said Kimberly Chiappetti a longtime member of the Parada Del Sol Committee. “We look forward to presenting a family friendly experience that honors the city’s many vibrant cultures as well as serves as a great way to spend a day in beautiful Old Town Scottsdale!”

 

Nick Alamshaw serves as the event’s Parada Boss in 2025. Alamshaw is the Tactical Operations Section Lieutenant for the city of Scottsdale Police Department as well as a longtime member of the Scottsdale Charros.

 

The theme of the 71st Annual Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival is “25 Reasons to Love Parada Del Sol in 2025.” And while there are many more reasons beyond just 25 a few of these include the opportunity to connect with Scottsdale’s cultural heritage spend a fun day with family and friends in beautiful Old Town and watch incredible and varied parade entries.

 

The long-running Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade typically includes approximately 150 entries that range from vibrant floats mounted horse-riders and horse-drawn carriages to school marching bands wagons and stagecoaches representing many cultures from Mexican to Native American to Arabian to Western.

 

The Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade is presented through the tireless efforts of a core group of community volunteers with lifelong experiences of watching and participating in the event. The Scottsdale Charros who have been riding in the parade for nearly as long as it has been in existence took on management of the event in 2021. The organization is dedicated to preserving the nostalgia of the parade while making it even bigger and better to raise as much money as possible for the community.

 

The Charros give much credit to the hard-working members of the Parada Del Sol Committee. These volunteers work year round ensure the Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade remains a safe fun and vibrant community-minded event that brings family friends and neighbors together.

 

Although the parade is set to being at 10 a.m. crowds begin to gather long before this time. Arrive early to ensure a perfect spot along the parade route for viewing the parade’s many floats and participants and to enjoy pre-parade entertainment. After enjoying the parade one and all are invited to mosey on over to the family friendly Trail’s End Festival which takes over Scottsdale’s Historic Old Town District.

 

This sprawling Western-style daylong block party has something for everyone including a kids’ zone food trucks and beverage vendors merchandise and arts and crafts booths. Live entertainment is presented at multiple stages throughout the day including concerts from popular bands of today as well as traditional performers.
