America’s Birthday – Petaluma Style! Join us as Butter & Egg Days celebrates the nation’s 250th Birthday with a hometown twist! This year’s parade honors Petaluma’s deep agricultural roots and the farmers, families, immigrants, makers, entrepreneurs, and creatives whose hard work and imagination reflect the enduring American Dream.
We also pause to recognize the Indigenous peoples who first stewarded this land, the courage of our founders, and the dairy and egg farming community that helped shape Petaluma into the vibrant town we love today. Rooted in community, innovation, and independence, this celebration is Petaluma pride at its finest.
