This inaugural event will be held in downtown San Clemente at the intersection of Avenida Rosa and Avenida Victoria. Event activities will include a one-of-a-kind 300-foot patriotic slip ‘n slide (ages 8+ years); a kickin’ kids zone hosted by Fun on the Run Mobile Recreation featuring an all-American 75-foot obstacle challenge course and water slide; patriotic-themed competitions; live entertainment stage; with food available for purchase. Follow the City of San Clemente to get updates and event details!
Due to rising public safety concerns, the unpermitted activity known as “Office Chair Races” will be prohibited, and a new tradition that encourages families to enjoy downtown San Clemente safely, will take its place. Members of the public are reminded that it is illegal to close a public street without a permit, under S.C.M.C. §12.34.020. Any violation of this, or interference with the City’s permitted event activity (S.C.M.C. §12.34.160) will be enforced.
