Celebrate our City’s heritage with a special Torchlight Parade celebration as we honor our City’s rich history and founding traditions! Benicia’s Founders Day Torchlight Parade will illuminate the streets with a dazzling display of community spirit and historical remembrance.

The parade stretches along First Street from B Street to the judging area at Benicia City Park on First and Military Streets.  This parade has seen the turn of two centuries.  It is a hometown parade which includes community organizations, clubs and friends and neighbors waving at each other as the parade progresses up the street.

JOIN THE PARADE
Calling all Community Groups, Churches, Scout Groups, Businesses, Car and Motorcycle Clubs, Beauty Queens, Marching Bands, Twirlers, Military Groups, School Groups, and Clubs!
