We are seeking five volunteer ambassadors to help represent us by walking in the 3rd Annual Cinco de Mayo Parade in San Jose on Sunday May 3, 2026. The parade begins at 10am on Alum Rock and King Road. It travels from the Mexican Heritage Plaza down towards Story Rd & Kind Rd. to the festival location at Emma Prusch Farm Park. Route is approximately 1.5 miles long. Shift time will be approximately 8:30 am-11:30am with goal to bring extra fun and excitement to the parade! We will have an OSA vehicle and walkers participating in the parade, with walkers handing out giveaways. 

Please plan to bring the following items with you:
-Water
-Hat and sunglasses
-Sunscreen
-Comfortable walking shoes
-Wear your Volunteer OSA shirt.

As details around parade participant logistics and meet up location are shared, this event will be updated. For now, what we know is represented here and we hope to identify volunteers to join us for the fun and excitement. The event is well attended and having a team ensures we can meet the level of interest we anticipate. Thank you in advance for joining us and for helping to make this parade a success!
