Swallows Return to San Juan Capistrano!

Looking for a Day Trip?

Hi friends,

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? One of Southern California’s most beloved traditions is back…

The Swallows Day Parade in San Juan Capistrano is happening this Saturday!

It’s such a festive, small-town event filled with horses, music, and that classic California charm. Even better? It’s an easy and beautiful day trip from Laguna Beach. Perfect if you have visitors in town or just want to mix up your weekend routine.

If you’re heading that way, I’ve got you covered:

Facts about San Juan Capistrano Mission

Make a full day of it. Wander the historic streets, grab lunch, and soak in the history (and maybe even spot a few swallows!).

Catalina Island is always a favorite this time of year—clear skies, sparkling water, and that “far away but so close” feeling:
