June 2023 Edition

The Kiwanis-Danville Parade will take place on Tuesday, July 4th, 2023 from 9 am to 12 noon in downtown Danville, California. This year's parade theme is Celebrating our Educators and the Grand Marshal is Chavonta Edington, Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year.

The Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley has organized and conducted the annual Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in partnership with the Town of Danville since 1975. The parade attracts 30,000-40,000 spectators each year and is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate America's birth.

The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation is pleased to join the festivities and we are looking forward to help celebrate the educators of our valley and beyond.

Have a happy and safe holiday!
