Our Theme for 2025: “Honoring All Nations”

Join us on August 23, 2025, at 11am on Main Street in downtown Guerneville for the 79th Stumptown Daze Parade. We’re excited to get planning underway for this community event which brings everyone out to celebrate the rich history of the Russian River.

This parade, first held in March of 1946, will be the 79th Stumptown Daze Parade. We have chosen to honor all of those who came to the Russian River Valley to build a good life and create the wonderful community we know and love today. Everyone is welcome to join us as we honor all nations by entering a contingent, being a sponsor, or volunteering.

In 2024 we honored John Schubert and the Cazadero Dozer crew who were instrumental in saving our communities in the 2019 fires. Everyone wore their Caz gear & brought “Thank You” signs!

We’re not ready to announce the 2025 honorees just yet, but we are planning to acknowledge at least one special community member for our Stumptown Parade Community Award. In 2024: Spartacus Mitchell and Leslie “JoJo” Booker.

Think about how you can join the fun… Perhaps form a contingent and be in the parade? Sponsor the parade? Volunteer to help run the parade? You can find your place in the parade using the links below!
