Saturday, July 4, 2026 – Our Masonic family came together in a big way at this year’s Carmelfest Parade as Mahrage Grotto, Sahara Grotto, Carmel Lodge #421, and Job’s Daughters proudly marched side by side in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.

It was an incredible day filled with community spirit, patriotism, and pride as we honored our nation’s rich history alongside thousands of spectators. The Carmelfest Parade is the largest parade attended each year by our Masonic family, making it a special tradition that brings our organizations together in fellowship and service.

Thank you to everyone who participated and cheered us on. Here’s to celebrating our shared values, our community, and 250 years of America!

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸🎉
