Tips & Advice
- Bring blankets and chairs so you can settle in along the route as the entries travel south into Old Town Temecula.
- Be in your spot before the start time, because the parade steps off sharp at Jefferson Avenue and Del Rio Road.
- Dress warmly for a December evening outdoors, since you'll be sitting along the street while the lit-up entries pass.
- Groups that want to enter a float, band or vehicle should apply soon, because applications for the 2026 parade are open now.
