A Yuma tradition is back, and it’s bigger, louder, and more hometown-proud than ever. The 81st Annual Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo Parade will take place Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, a beloved celebration of the Old West and the community spirit that brings Yuma together year after year.
This year’s theme is “Cannon Balls to Rockets!” and the parade will be filled with vibrant floats, marching bands, equestrian groups, and local organizations as they make their way through Historic Downtown Yuma. It’s the perfect way to kick off an unforgettable rodeo weekend.
In 2026, the community is invited to wear Red, White & Blue in support of The United States Military. Bring your flags, your patriotic spirit and your loudest cheers as the parade rolls through downtown.
The Rodeo Parade is part of the 81st Annual Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo, happening February 13-15, 2026 at the Yuma County Fairgrounds. If the parade gets you fired up, you won’t want to miss the rodeo action all weekend long.
