Swallows Day
March 19 The
swallows return to San Juan Capistrano. Cliff Swallows migrate
annual between Argentina and the Mission San Juan Capistrano,
California, USA. The swallows are said to leave on October 23,
the former feast day of St. John of Capistrano.
The city of San Juan Capistrano celebrates with an annual Swallows' Day Parade and festive events. The
1940 hit song "When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano", written by
Leon René, is a love song centering on these annual events.
