2026 Theme: "America's Birthday - Petaluma Style"
Celebrating 250 years of independence, ingenuity, and small-town pride.
“Americas’ Birthday – Petaluma Style” celebrates the nation’s 250th Birthday by honoring Petaluma’s deep agricultural roots and hometown spirit. This year’s Butter & Egg Days Parade recognizes the farmers, families, immigrants, makers, entrepreneurs, and creatives whose hard work, imagination, and ingenuity reflect the enduring American Dream. This celebration also pays respect to the Indigenous peoples who first stewarded this land, the courage of our founders, and the dedication of the dairy and egg farming community that shaped our town. Rooted in community, innovation, and independence, the parade celebrates the small-town spirit that continues to make Petaluma a vibrant place to call home. Head to Downtown Petaluma and celebrate with our community on this day of fun, history, and local pride!
Parade participants incorporate the theme “America's Birthday - Petaluma Style” into their entry design. The theme gives nonprofits, businesses, organizations, and individuals lots of options for showing off their creativity in their designs. All parade entries will be judged on how well their entry portrays this year's theme - winners announced on the website! Check back later to see which entries take home the prizes and earn bragging rights.
The Butter & Egg Days festivities kick off on Saturday, April 11 with the Opening Ceremonies at the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum (20 Fourth St), from Noon to 1pm. Mayor Kevin McDonnell will read a proclamation honoring the Grand Marshal and Good Egg. Come enjoy this display that shows the heart of our community.
One week later on Saturday, April 18, the Butter & Egg Days Parade steps off at noon and marches through the historic downtown. The parade showcases over 100 units with approximately 3,000 participants and 200 volunteers. Clover Sonoma returns to lead the Clover Kids’ Parade, which precedes the main parade at 11:30am with a procession of preschoolers and primary grade youngsters and their families.
The parade is surrounded by a Festival that spreads over four city blocks from 10am-5pm offering a wide variety of food, crafts, beverage gardens featuring the Lagunitas Beverage Garden on B Street, two kid areas (2nd Street Kids Zone sponsored by Marin Health and the A-Lot by Kaiser Permanente), live music at the Farmhouse Artisan Market Music Stage, Rosie's Organic Harvest Market, and more! New this year, the Festival will feature the Healthy Petaluma Community Relaxation Lounge, a quiet cool space to unwind and refresh, located at Blue Zones, 8 4th Street. This annual event aims to bring together the community for a day of fun and entertainment.
The following weekend, Downtown Petaluma continues the celebration with the Annual Spring Antique Faire, on Sunday, April 26.

2026 Butter & Egg Days Parade and Festival
~ Good Egg ~
CONNIE WILLIAMS
Petaluma History Room librarian
The Good Egg Award was created by the Butter & Egg Days Committee 43 years ago to honor the people who work to keep Petaluma’s history alive. The annual awardee is selected by previous Good Eggs to recognize the legacy of positive promotion begun by booster Bert Kerrigan. Kerrigan worked from 1918 to 1926 and gained international recognition of Petaluma as a center of commerce and agriculture. Kerrigan’s promotion of Petaluma included the famous National Egg Days celebrations, which inspired the creation of the Butter and Egg Days Parade. Kerrigan brought Petaluma fame with the phrase “The World’s Egg Basket.”
The 2026 Butter & Egg Days Opening Ceremonies will take place on Saturday, April 11 at the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum at 12 noon. Mayor Kevin McDonnell and other dignitaries will be present to read proclamations honoring the 2026 Good Egg, the parade’s Grand Marshal, announce the opening of History Week, and kickoff the 2026 Butter & Egg Days.
