Vista's 68th Christmas Parade Brings "Candyland Dreams" to Downtown on December 5
The City of Vista, in San Diego County, California, holds its 68th annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 5, at 1 p.m. in downtown Vista. This year's theme is "Candyland Dreams," and watching is free.
The parade is presented by the Vista Chamber of Commerce together with the City of Vista. Float registration closed on November 13; floats, walking groups and school entries make up the bulk of the lineup. Unlike most North County parades, which roll in the evening, Vista's starts in the early afternoon — a friendlier slot for families with young children.
December 5 is the busiest holiday date in North San Diego County: Vista's parade opens the day at 1 p.m., Escondido runs its Winter Wonderland Festival, Fallbrook's parade steps off at 5 p.m., and San Marcos lights its tree at 6 p.m., so residents can string several cities' celebrations into one day.
The chamber advises that downtown streets will be controlled on parade day and suggests checking the chamber and city postings for the latest parking and closure guidance.
