The 2023 theme: "!!Somos la Fuerza de Nuestra Comunidad - We are the Strength of our community!" – Participants are encouraged to decorate their float in a sweet theme rich in color and life! And of course, urged to toss some candy to spectators! Los Hermanos Familia also encourages participants to align with "Our objective is strengthening families, and building community," said Christy Martinez-Garcia, Parade Chair. "This year we are urging schools and organizations and families to share the richness of their existence, their history, and prepare floats that are rich in color. By especially showcasing the contributions of our Mexican American and Hispanic community, we promote their contributions." The Hispanic community encourages veterans, family members, role models, schools, athletes, marching bands, small and corporate businesses, etc. to be included.
