-

A Catholic Portuguese Celebration. On June 5, 2022 we will have a parade from our facility at 2818 Avenida de Portugal to St. Agnes Church at 1140 Evergreen Street and back from church to our facility following a High Mass.

Location: On Sunday, June 5, 2022 at 8:00am we will begin to form our parade at 2818 Avenida de Portugal. We utilize our parking lot and the surrounding streets. Shafter Street will have to be closed between Shelter Island Drive and Canon, Canon closed from Shafter Street to Scott Street for the formation of the rest of the parade. As the parade forms it will go from the staging on Canon Street, turn left on Shafter Street, turn left on Avenida de Portugal move up a block to Rosecrans Street and stop until the rest of the formation is complete. At 10:00am we will start the parade across Rosecrans Street up to Locust Street, turn right and go straight until Carleton Street, turn left and go straight until Evergreen Street, turn left and proceed to St. Agnes Church for a 11:00am High Mass.

After Mass which takes approximately 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours the formation will begin again. We start the formation at approximately 12pm on Evergreen Street and move it to Carleton Street, turn right and go straight until Locust Street, turn right and go straight until Avenida de Portugal, turn left and proceed to Scott Street, turn right and go straight until Canon Street and turn left. The majority of the parade will disengage on Canon Street, a portion of the parade (where the royalty is slated) will proceed straight down Avenida de Portugal to our facility. A map is attached.

Police and traffic controllers have blocked off some streets and rerouted traffic between 9am and 1pm in a place created by the Police and Traffic Controllers. For the past 13 years the traffic plan has provided a safe, secure venue for participants and attendees. The event sponsor will provide the signs, barricade and security to assure our event continues to be safe and incident free.

The parade will have cars, floats, marching bands and children. We have invited several dignitaries from the City of San Diego and Portugal but at this time we do not know who is attending.

Vendors: Floats will come from Floatasia Parade Float Company. Elite is our Security Company.
