San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association

With its central office in the Nydegger Building, this group of about 300 local volunteers works to raise money each year for the annual Swallows' Day Parade, part of the Fiesta de las Golondrinas (the Festival of the Swallows), which celebrates the return of the migrating swallows to the region. Each year, the parade has a different theme, and in addition to the parade, the Fiesta Association designs and organizes other events and activities that take place during the festival, and, during the festival, help with traffic direction, staging and more.
