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.
