Parade History
The annual Festival of Flowers began in 1941 as a celebration dedicated to children. Inspired by the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, San Bruno chose the posy as its signature flower. Traditionally featuring participants ages 14 and under, the parade has brought both state and national recognition to San Bruno. Each year, the community gathers to celebrate and support the children at the Posy Parade. Thank you to everyone who continues to keep this cherished San Bruno tradition blooming.
