Goleta Holiday Parade

What an unforgettable night in Old Town Goleta! 🎄✨
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the 2025 Goleta Holiday Parade. Your energy, smiles, and holiday spirit made the evening truly magical.

Congratulations to and for putting on another incredible parade! This festive night came together thanks to approximately 80 volunteers and over 1,000 volunteer hours, bringing our community a celebration we’ll never forget. About 2,000 spectators lined Hollister Avenue as 78 entries and 1,400 participants lit up the street with music, color, and holiday cheer.

A special congratulations to our Grand Marshal, Mr. James Marchiando, who proudly led the parade driving his 1959 430 John Deere tractor — pulling a 20-foot trailer filled with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Four generations of Goleta pride! 💚💛

And of course, a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our sponsors and our presenting sponsors:
Fuel Depot and Elks Lodge, Toyota of Santa Barbara, and Anna’s Bakery — your support makes this cherished community tradition possible.

Until next year, Goleta! 🎅🌟
