Family Welcome Days

We are proud to announce that the Santa Clara Vanguard has been officially invited to perform in the Rose Parade in 2027 — the same year we celebrate Vanguard’s 60th Anniversary.

There could not be a more fitting stage to honor six decades of excellence, tradition, and innovation.

60 Years. One Vanguard. 🌹

In 2027, we won’t just be marching in the Rose Parade — we’ll be celebrating 60 years of Vanguard history in front of millions around the world. From 1967 to today, generations of members have carried the Vanguard legacy forward. Now, we invite you to be part of this milestone moment.

Participation is open to current members and alumni from all Vanguard programs. This is a unique opportunity to reconnect, represent the organization, and help us commemorate 60 years in a way only Vanguard can.

The participation fee to take part in the 2027 Rose Parade experience is $300.
