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.


Following the parade, the celebration continues with the Blue Mountain Festival, formerly known as Community Day, a cherished tradition in Grand Terrace that brings the entire community together for a day filled with fun, food, and entertainment. The festival will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Richard Rollins Community Park.

This year’s festival offers something for everyone, including games, contests, live on-stage entertainment, a battle of the bands, a car show, more than 90 community and craft booths, a wide selection of food trucks, and a Beer Garden sponsored by the Grand Terrace Lion's Club.
