Thanks to all of our partners, participants, and viewers of the 74th annual Mother Goose Parade!
See you next year!
Thanks to our friends at ABC 10News San Diego, this East County holiday tradition was safely continued, bringing you all the parade fun and excitement virtually, and kicking off the holiday season!
Since 1947...
El Cajon's Mother Goose Parade has been a staple in San Diego County.
The Mother Goose Parade was started in 1947 by Thomas Wigton, Jr. and a group of El Cajon businessmen. This parade was their gift from the business community to the "Children of East County.".
It has continued for over 70 years, and has grown into a staple of the East County San Diego Community.
For over 70 years The Mother Goose Parade has been a product of our whole community working together. From tireless volunteers, to generous donors, dedicated participants, and faithful attendees, it’s a team effort.
Reach out to us today to get involved and join the legacy!
