The 65th Annual Garden Grove Strawberry Festival is the largest community parade on the West Coast for Memorial Weekend. Garden Grove, California is home to the annual Memorial Weekend Strawberry Festival. The Parade starts Saturday at 10 a.m. on Chapman at 9th Street, heads toward Euclid, where it turns and goes just past Lampson.

A celebrity Grand Marshal is featured in the parade each year, and there's always a Strawberry Queen and her court riding a beautiful float.

The event is hosted by the nonprofit Garden Grove Strawberry Festival Association, is free admission, and is well worth a visit as one of the most fun weekend activities you'll find on the coast. Garden Grove is located in Orange County with surrounding cities such as Anaheim (Disneyland), Westminster, Orange and nearby beaches in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach.

The parade route starts at Chapman & 9th Streets, turns on Euclid Ave. toward Main, and ends around Stanford near Acacia.
