Tips & Advice

  • Use the free parking at the Town & Country Center, Peninsula Shopping Center or Promenade P|V when you come to watch the parade.
  • Arrive before the late-afternoon road closures on Silver Spur Road, Deep Valley Drive, Roxcove Drive and Drybank Drive so you don't get caught driving on the route.
  • Pick a viewing spot along Silver Spur Road, Deep Valley Drive or the Promenade on the Peninsula, where the parade passes on its way to Norris Center Drive.
  • Community groups, organizations and businesses that want to enter a parade unit can apply now, because participant applications for this season are open.
  • Stay for the whole parade so you see Santa, who rides as the guest of honor among the floats and marching bands.
