There is no cost to enter the parade. Parade check-in is at 11:30 AM on Second Street, in front of the Memorial building. The Parade is open to all groups or persons wanting to celebrate the season with a “themed” entry.

The parade route will be posted with “No Parking Signs” from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM the day of the parade. The Lions Club requests the cooperation and patience of Fillmore residents for this event to ensure the safety of all involved.

This is the 11th year the Lions Club has sponsored the Annual Fillmore Christmas Parade. The Fillmore Lions Club’s continues to sponsor the parade in honor of long time member, the late Henry “Hank” Carrillo. Hank urged the Club to assume the responsibility of the parade when it was in danger of losing sponsorship.

Chief Rigo Landeros and Captain Al Huerta will be escorting Santa Clause down the parade route to the Train Station where Children can have their picture taken.

See you all on December 3rd! AND don’t forget your camera!
