Experience the Magic of the Sacramento Santa Parade!

Get ready, Sacramento! The festive season is just around the corner, and that means it’s almost time for the beloved Sacramento Santa Parade! On December 14, 2024, join us for a spectacular celebration marking 41 years of holiday cheer since the parade began in 1983. This year’s event promises to be more magical than ever, taking place in the heart of our beautifully redesigned Downtown District, right near Capitol Park.

The parade will kick off with a delightful array of marching bands, colorful clowns, enthusiastic youth groups, and even some charming horses. But that’s not all! Expect to see antique vehicles, superheroes, and lively dance and cheer squads, all contributing to the joyful atmosphere. With the Grand Marshal leading the way, you and your family will be part of an exciting celebration that welcomes over 10,000 attendees, including parents, kids, and the young at heart!

Best of all, the Santa Parade is completely free to attend! So grab your loved ones, bundle up, and prepare to make unforgettable memories together. The joy and excitement of the season will fill the air as we come together as a community to celebrate this wonderful tradition. Don’t miss out on the chance to witness the holiday spirit come alive in Sacramento!
