The Parada San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist Parade) has become a long lasting tradition in the City of Camden with its inception in 1957. Its goal is to unite the community to celebrate the richness of the Puerto Rican culture with all ethnic backgrounds. It is considered the largest summer event in the region with over 30, 000 attendees. The parade is a well-known, family-oriented, cultural and educational event, which takes place on the last Sunday in the month of June. It displays a mosaic of the very best of the Latin rhythms and dances from around the region, marching bands, decorated floats, exhibits as well as the flavors and aromas of ethnic cuisine. This year DJ Redz will be performing at the parade on our Queen's float.
