Pacific Grove Holiday Parade of Lights

A Storybook Christmas on Lighthouse Avenue

Pacific Grove's 23rd annual Holiday Parade of Lights rolls down Lighthouse Avenue in downtown Pacific Grove, with marching bands, lit floats, dance teams, and Santa. The 2026 theme is "A Storybook Christmas." The parade happens rain or shine, so bring a warm layer and find a spot early.
