The Buckboard Days Parade and Festival Committee
The traditions and pageantry of the Buckboard Days Parade & Festival is entering its 46th year in Rowland Heights. We hope this page will give you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes of this annual event and how it all comes together.
Buckboard Days began in 1971 as a fund-raiser for the Rowland Heights Junior Women’s Club to raise money for the various charities they supported. Today, it is an event put on to bring the community of Rowland Heights together for a day to celebrate our western history, have fun, and enjoy each other.
The Parade itself requires the dedicated involvement of a large group of volunteers. When all work together, it is intricate but not difficult, and is a very rewarding experience. The parade and festival benefit the entire community.
The parade committee volunteers include a mix of about 150 students and adults. The Rowland Heights Park staff are on the committee and organize the festival. Everyone works together to plan and put on the parade and festival annually.
