As a parent, I'm always on the lookout for exciting and unique experiences to share with my family. This summer, Legoland California Resort in Carlsbad has given us the perfect reason to visit: the nation’s first-ever Lego World Parade! This milestone event not only celebrates the resort's 25th birthday but also promises to ignite the imagination of kids and adults alike.

The parade, which officially launched last Friday, features a stunning array of Lego-themed floats and entertainers. It’s not just a parade; it’s a spectacular celebration of all things Lego. From the moment you step into the park, you’re surrounded by the magic of Legoland, culminating in this extraordinary parade that runs daily through the west side of the theme park.
Kurt Stocks, president of Legoland California Resort, expressed the significance of this event perfectly: “Every float tells a story and every step along the way ignites imagination. The parade is the perfect finale to a day spent riding, climbing, splashing, and building through our 60+ rides, shows, and attractions.”
