The 57th Santa Clara Parade of Champions Festival & Sports Fan Zone takes over Franklin Square on October 3, 2026, from 8 AM to 5 PM. Holyland is minutes away with a halal menu built for a long festival day.
A Santa Clara Tradition Since 1945
The Parade of Champions has honored local champions, the community, and frontline heroes since 1945, with opening ceremonies at 10 AM and festivities running until 5 PM.
A Street Food Market, Plus a Real Sit-Down Option Nearby
The festival brings its own street food market and food trucks to Franklin Square — Holyland gives families a sit-down, halal option close by before or after.

Six pieces of falafel with hummus, dolmas, salad, and pita.
Baklava — A Sweet Finish Before Heading Back to the Parade
A quick dessert option to grab on the way out.
