Tips & Advice
- Bring chairs or blankets and claim a spot at the curb along Las Posas Rd. or Carmen Dr., since the parade runs for about one and a half to two hours.

- Follow the parade to its finish at the Community Center, where Santa's Village has vendor booths, food trucks, crafts and live bands set up.
- Expect the Santa photo line to open once the parade wraps up, because the photo start time shifts depending on when the parade finishes.
- Look over the parade map before you drive in, since it shows the closed streets and detour routes around the route on parade day.
