Presentation of AG Holiday Festival (no date posted as of this listing)

Each December the historic Village of Arroyo Grande celebrates the holidays with a beloved cluster of free community events: a nighttime Holiday Parade of floats and marching bands down Branch Street, a Tree Lighting & Snow Event with real snow and sledding at Elm Street Park, an Art in the Park holiday market, and a visit from Santa. It's the Central Coast's quintessential small-town Christmas

  

The Grover Beach Holiday Parade (no date posted as of this listing)

Join us for a fantastic parade lineup featuring local schools, businesses, community groups, and your City officials. You will see marching bands, dance groups, floats, and vintage cars! This parade has it all and all entries help support the toy drive for 5Cities Homeless Coalition. Let's help our community enjoy some joy this holiday season!  If you'd like to support the Toy Drive, contact Community Services for more info.
