Celebrate July 4th with Julian
The Julian 4th of July Parade honors stars, stripes and pioneers. Known far and wide as the "best little small town parade in America," Julian presents a homegrown event that celebrates the town's gold rush era history, the dedication of veterans and active duty military who serve our country, and local residents who cherish the special qualities of the little town tucked into the Cuyamaca Mountains east of San Diego.
In Julian you'll see high school kids leading their animals down Main Street, Grand Marshal John Baca, a Medal of Honor recipient, and World War II veterans riding in a spiffy car, descendants of early gold mining families waving at you from the 90-year-old Mack stage, the newly crowned Miss Julian and her entourage, the town doctor getting applause and town fire fighters getting cheers. There are bands, bunting, banners, flags, color guards, patriotic songs.
