If you are not going to be in Saturday’s Festival of Lights Parade, then you certainly want to be curb-side watching it go by! The parade steps off at 5:45 p.m. at Ramon Road and marches north on Palm Canyon Drive to Tamarisk. This fantastic parade features spectacular holiday floats covered in thousands of twinkling lights, a host of high school and middle school marching bands, the arrival of Old St. Nick and 10 giant Macy’s style balloons. For the fifth year in a row, our neighborhood organizations will be escorting the balloons up the parade route to the delight of everyone watching. Make sure to wave and cheer when you see our neighborhood volunteers with their balloons. And thanks to our balloon wranglers from Tahquitz River Estates, Los Compadres, Indian Canyons, Racquet Club Estates, Sunmor, Sunrise Park, Sonora Sunrise, Movie Colony East, El Mirador and Desert Park Estates. We will have more than 90 volunteers walking with the balloons this year. Big balloons, big parade, big fun!
Also, make sure to look for the Mountain Gate Neighborhood Organization’s float toward the end of the parade. Mountain Gate started off as balloon wrangles our first year, then stepped up the following year and entered a float! This is now their fourth year with a float in the parade. Good job, Mountain Gate!
