Calendar

The 71st annual Santa Paula Christmas Parade is back and looking for entries! The annual parade, shut down last year due to COVID-19, will be held Saturday, Nov. 27, at 5:30 p.m. when Main Street sparkles with holiday lights as well as the glow from all the entries.

Everyone loves a parade, especially Santa Paulans who flock to the downtown to enjoy the show. Each year, the parade features an array of floats and marchers, including bands, equestrians, families, service clubs and organizations, businesses, schools, churches and more!

And don’t forget the Man with All the Toys — Santa Claus who loves to visit his (almost) namesake town. Everyone loves the Christmas Parade and everyone is invited to enter… or just enjoy the show by picking a choice viewing spot along East Main Street. The parade will be taped by KADYtv.com and available for viewing on demand.

The Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce is accepting entries and forms are available at the chamber office (200 N. 10th St.), the Santa Paula Times (120 Davis St.) and online at santapaulachamber.com. Don’t delay in entering!

To help offset costs, the entry fee is $40 each, $25 each for nonprofits (but scholarships are available for nonprofits if needed). For more information or questions, call 805- 525-5561.
