Help Us Keep the Monterey 4th of July Parade Going with a Donation

Each year, the Monterey 4th of July Parade honors our nation and celebrates our community. Like so many worthwhile things, it's a labor of love that needs help with funding.

Sponsors and partner organizations help defray the costs, but organizing and financing the parade ultimately falls to the Old Monterey Business Association. This is where we invite our community to help. If the Monterey 4th of July Parade is one of your cherished traditions, help us keep it going with your donation of any amount.
