2015 Gilroy Holiday Parade

The 2015 Gilroy Holiday Parade is coming to Downtown Gilroy on Saturday, December 5, 2015.  We kick off our annual event with our Doggie Dress-Up at 2:30 pm.  Registration is limited to the first 20 pooches and prizes will be awarded for: Most Festive, Most Adorable and Most Outrageous!

Performances from community groups begin on the Main Stage (at the intersection of Fifth and Monterey Streets) begin at 3:00 pm.

Vendors are located on Fifth Street between Monterey and Eigleberry for you to shop for treats and gifts.

The Parade begins around 5:45 and will conclude when Santa and our Grand Marshall light the star at the top of the Christmas tree already set at the intersection of Fifth and Monterey.  We’ll honor our Downtown star for their service to Downtown Gilroy.

Then, it’s off to Mango Street Kids for pictures with Santa Claus and his merry elves.

Applications for vendors, participants, performers and canines are all available on our website: downtowngilroy.com.  For more information, call: 408-842-0005 or email Melanie@downtowngilroy.com
