30th Annual Holiday Parade is on its Way

These lingering hot and cold November Days will eventually fade away into cool crisp December Days and cold lemonade will be replaced by hot chocolate. Right away the last month of the year will feature our community’s annual iconic event: Our Annual Granada Hills Holiday Parade. This year we will be celebrating our 30th year!

On Sunday, Dec. 8th, 2013, starting at 1:30 p.m., an anticipated 4,000 participants and over 100 entries, featuring car clubs, bands, horses, girl scouts and boy scouts and of course, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus will make its 29th yearly trip up Chatsworth St.
