President - Sponsorship Chair
Hello there. I am Fiesta Association President Jim Taylor. Our parade announcers and national anthem singers have been an important part of every Swallows Day Parade for many years. I started out as a parade announcer and eventually became a board member. Today I am still the main parade announcer, seated in front of the Swallows Inn. I hope that the information on this page helps
you to choose you location to watch the
65th annual Swallows Day Parade in 2025.
A big Fiesta Thank You to our dedicated Parade Announcers!
Jonathan Jenkins
Website - Publicity - Pet Parade Chair - Announcer
Hello there. This is Jonathan Jenkins Fiesta board member. I attended my first Swallows Day Parade in 1963 when Actor Buddy Ebsen was the Grand Marshal. After buying our home in San Juan Capistrano in 1995, it was just a matter of time before I returned to the parade as an announcer about 10 years ago. This is how I first met President Jim Taylor. Now I am in charge of Publicity, Chair of the Pet Parade, Parade Announcer and I was recently commissioned to build our brand new Fiesta Association website.
