Join The City of Grand Terrace for the Blue Mountain Festival & City Parade!

Come with your neighbors, friends, and family for one of Grand Terrace’s most anticipated traditions the Blue Mountain Festival and City Parade on Saturday, May 16, 2026!

The festivities begin with the city parade, kicking off at 10:30 a.m., from Mt. Vernon Ave and Grand Terrace Rd, concluding at Richard Rollins Park. We invite you to come cheer on the various schools, community groups, businesses, and clubs participating in this memorable event.
