Quartzsite Welcomes Camelpalooza and Hi Jolly Parade During RV Season

Quartzsite is hosting a cluster of winter events this weekend as Camelpalooza activities proceed through Jan. 9–11 and the Hi Jolly Parade takes place on Jan. 10. Local organizers have published parade route and parking details, and a community briefing circulating today consolidates daily event listings, a short events calendar and weather information to help residents and visitors plan attendance.

The weekend calendar also highlights the Quartzsite RV Show and other winter-season attractions that typically draw recreational vehicle owners and day visitors to La Paz County. Organizers’ posted logistics include maps for the parade route, designated parking zones and vendor locations; these notices aim to reduce congestion on main streets and steer large vehicles to recommended lot areas.

For local businesses and vendors, the events represent a concentrated opportunity during the winter tourism season. Food service, retail and temporary vendors will be active along parade corridors and at Camelpalooza sites, while RV show attendees contribute demand for gasoline, groceries and short-term services. At the same time, residents should expect heavier traffic, limited on-street parking near event sites and intermittent road closures on parade day.

Public-safety planning is part of the event rollout. Published route and parking details are intended to channel pedestrian flow and keep emergency access clear. Residents along the parade corridor can use the posted maps to identify alternative entry and exit points and to plan errands around peak times. Visitors towing RVs are advised to follow organizers’ recommended parking zones to avoid blocking local streets.

The community briefing also includes weather forecasts for the weekend, an important factor for outdoor events and for RVers deciding whether to attend. Because Camelpalooza and the RV show operate across multiple sites, attendees should check the community page for up-to-date event times, vendor lists and any last-minute logistics changes.

Quartzsite’s winter events offer a short-term economic boost and community activity, but they also require coordination among organizers, local businesses and residents. Advance planning, use of published route and parking guidance and awareness of event schedules will help minimize disruption while allowing the town to host seasonal visitors through Jan. 11.
