Colmo del Rodeo Parade
July 10

Park Row Salinas Ca 93901
The Colmo del Rodeo Parade will grace the streets of Old Town Salinas and commemorate what was once the greatest parade of the west! As the California Rodeo was first produced in 1911, so was the first informal night parade. the parade was organized by local townsfolk, and included decorated automobiles that would drive down Main Street Salinas to wrap up Big Week festivities. Later in 1913 the parade was formalized. At this time the "Colmo del Rodeo" was recognized as the largest and greatest night-lighted parade west of the Mississippi. Sadly, after the 1985 Big Week, the Colmo was eliminated from Rodeo activities. A few years later in 1987 it was brought back and was a part of te Saturday horse parade.That was the last time the Colmo was held, until now. The Colmo del Rodeo parade will take to the streets Saturday night, July 10, 2010. Contact Ray Pulver at 408-629-2520 if you have questions.
