The 47th annual Starlight Parade officially kicks off the Christmas season in Chula Vista, Dec.5 at 6pm. This happens to be the largest night time parade in the south county and the “Festival of Lights”, which the event is also called, will be sure to dazzle against the cool, evening sky.
There will be Christmas carolers and marching bands. Also, lighted floats and drill teams will be getting cheers and applause from the little folk and big folk alike.
The Chula Vista Post Office will be collecting letters for Santa along the parade route. Each letter will be answered if it has a return address.
The Chula Vista Police Department will be collecting teddy bears along the parade route as well and donating them to the Rady Children’s Hospital.
Before the Parade begins, there will be live entertainment, pictures with Santa Claus and the lighting of one of the largest standing Christmas trees in the county beginning at 5:30 pm.
There is a host of fine dining choices along the Third Avenue Village to sample.
Be sure to get there early to find parking, bring a camera and dress warm.
Ho, ho, ho Santa is waiting!
Admission is free to the event.
