Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with twinkling lights, dazzling performers and festive holiday floats at Long Beach’s 72 annual Daisy Lane Parade on Saturday, Dec. 12.
The holiday parade kicks off at 5 p.m. on Daisy Avenue at West Burnett Street and travels south down the eastside of Daisy Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway where it will turn around the median and back up the westside of Daisy Avenue to end near West Hill Street and Maine Avenue around 7 p.m. The complete parade route can be viewed here.
The holiday festivities will continue for a second night on Sunday, Dec. 13. Hosted by the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance, it will feature a selection of spirited performances from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Daisy Lane median at Daisy Avenue and 20th Street.
The Daisy Lane Parade was started in 1953 by Gertrude Whittle. Today, the Daisy Lane Parade is presented by the City and Seventh Council District and stewarded by the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance and Maria Norvell, who is fondly known as the “Mother of Christmas Tree Lane” for being one of the original founders of the parade and for her continued role in this holiday celebration.
Any local businesses, nonprofit organizations and community groups interested in participating in the Daisy Lane Parade may submit an application by Tuesday, Dec. 1. For more information, contact the Seventh District Council Office at 562.570.7777 or district7@longbeach.gov.
