The 72nd Annual Scottsdale Parada Del Sol Historic Parade and Trail’s End Festival is scheduled to begin 9:30 a.m., Jan. 31.

The parade, put on by the Scottsdale Charros, will works its way through Scottsdale’s Old Town and end at the the family-friendly Trail’s End Festival, according to a press release

This year’s Parada theme, “A Diamond in the Desert: Celebrating 75 Years of Scottsdale,” pays homage to the city of Scottsdale’s 75th anniversary, which occurs in 2026.

With that special milestone in mind, the Charros and the Parada Del Sol Committee, which has helped produce the event for nearly as long as it has been in existence, is seeking not only entrants for the upcoming event, but also residents who have lived in Scottsdale or have been married for just as long. They also seek businesses that have been operating in Scottsdale for 75 years or more. Interested parties can contact scottsdaleparade@cox.net.
