The Jurupa Valley City Council meeting on August 7, 2025, focused primarily on the upcoming city parade, which has been officially scheduled for October 11. Council members discussed the significance of the parade as a community event aimed at showcasing local organizations and providing residents, especially newcomers, with information about available activities for families.

A key point raised during the meeting was the importance of including high school marching bands in the parade. In previous years, the parade coincided with band competitions, preventing local schools from participating. The council emphasized that the new date of October 11 aligns with the availability of these bands, allowing them to take part in the festivities.

The parade will take place near City Hall, a location chosen to enhance community engagement. The council noted that previous parades faced logistical challenges, including limited resources and the impact of the pandemic, which led to cancellations. However, with adequate planning and support from the sheriff's department, the council is optimistic about a successful event this year.

In conclusion, the October 11 parade is set to be a vibrant celebration of community spirit, featuring local organizations and high school bands, and aims to foster connections among residents. The council looks forward to a well-attended event that highlights the diverse offerings of Jurupa Valley.
