Encinitas Holiday Parade

Thousands of people will be on floats and in bands with tens
of thousands cheering them on as the 2013 Encinitas Holiday Parade rolls along
Coast Highway 101 on Saturday, December 7th. The parade begins at
5:30PM. It is preceded by a 5:00 PM tree lighting ceremony at the Lumberyard (near
Starbucks coffee). “Come on out and cheer as the nearly 100 parade floats and
entries make their way down the Parade route on Historic Coast Highway 101. The
Parade has been a 50 year plus Encinitas tradition for Encinitas area
residents,” Recreation Supervision Nick Buck states, “One of the great things
about the Parade is that we have something like 3,000 children in the Parade.
That means that we have all those parents, grandparents, and friends along the
Parade route enjoying the show and showing their support. It’s a great event
and the perfect way to kick off the Holidays in Encinitas.”
