The Bay Area Fun Festival is September 16 and 17. The theme for the Bay Area Fun Festival Parade is Under the Sea in 2023! We are adding some new fun events called Kids Zones to the festivals this year. Most of the activities center in downtown Coos Bay along Central Ave., with the Parade running on Fourth St., Commercial St., 2nd St. south to end point. The Pre Run begins at 10:05 a.m., the Parade 1 p.m., a Show ‘n Shine at the Mill Casino from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the Cruz the Coos begins at 6 p.m. downtown Coos Bay.
