A cherished community tradition returns to State Street for the first time since 2019! Presented by Consumer Fire Products, Inc. (CFPI)—who also marks their 13th year gifting the community Christmas tree in the 1300 block—the 68th Annual Downtown Santa Barbara Holiday Parade officially kicks off the holiday season. The evening will feature energetic marching bands, drumlines, dynamic dance troupes, and illuminated walking ensembles.
