Get Ready for Holiday Magic at the Starlight Parade and Festival!

Last year, the Chula Vista Starlight Parade was a huge hit. So many people turned out to see the return of this beloved event. Kick off the holiday season with the ultimate community celebration in Downtown Chula Vista! The Starlight Parade and Festival is back, bringing all the festive vibes you can imagine.

Picture this: live music filling the streets, creative crafts for kids (and kids at heart), and a holiday market packed with unique treasures perfect for gift-giving. Oh, and don’t forget the must-do Santa photo op—your holiday cards will thank you!

As the sun sets, Third Avenue will light up with an enchanting parade featuring glowing floats, energetic bands, dancers, and performers that will make the whole street come alive. But that’s not all! This year, we’re adding something new—a cozy holiday movie screening at the Memorial Bowl, perfect for snuggling up and soaking in the holiday spirit. This year will be bigger and you know it will be busy so get here early to save space.

Whether you’re in the middle of the action or cheering from the sidelines, this is one event you won’t want to miss. Bring your family, your friends, and your holiday cheer—it’s going to be a night to remember!
