NO KINGS Street Fest
Palo Alto | March 28, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Music! Protest! Community!
The Event
Join us for a street festival on No Kings Day where together we will lift our spirits and claim our power. We will sing and dance. We will raise our signs — and our voices. We will connect with our neighbors. In defiance of the kingly pretensions of Donald Trump and his authoritarian regime, we will celebrate our rights as democratic citizens.
Make your way on March 28 to El Camino Real in Palo Alto.
- Bring protest signs and wave to passing cars
- Listen to local bands and join a "resistance rock" singalong
- Visit activity areas devoted to celebrating our freedoms
What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community in America (and beyond). On March 28 — the third No Kings Day — rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
El Camino Real is also known as "the King's Highway." But on this day, thousands of us will turn the street into the No Kings Highway.

Stay Safe
A core principle of our movement is a commitment to nonviolence. We expect participants to de-escalate any potential confrontation and to act lawfully at all times. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
If you encounter a confrontation, DO NOT ENGAGE. Instead, find the peace ambassadors — the volunteers in yellow vests — and let them handle the situation.
Peninsula Out in Force
Across the San Francisco Peninsula, Indivisible and allied groups will be hosting protest events along El Camino Real on March 28.
