Rowell Ranch Rodeo Parade

Parade Schedule

Parade will return in 2025!

The parade that traditionally takes place the weekend prior to the rodeo will not be held this year. The Rotary Club of Castro Valley, who has coordinated the parade for more than 40 years recently decided they could no longer do so. It will return in 2025 under the direction of the Rowell Ranch Rodeo committee. New parade chairs, Mel Speed and Ashley Strausburg, are already beginning plans to bring it back bigger and better than ever. Look for changes next year that include a Saturday afternoon parade followed by music and food into the evening. Turning up the kick-off to a weeklong rodeo celebration for a community event that has taken place for more than 100 years in Castro Valley.

“We extend our appreciation to the Castro Valley Rotary for their many years of service. The Rowell Ranch Rodeo committee, new parade event chairs, volunteers and nonprofit partners will bring back the parade in 2025, bigger and better than ever,” said Russ Fields, Rowell Ranch Rodeo President.
