CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and the city of Clearlake will host the 2018 Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 1.

Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake will be decked out with Christmas magic as merry members of the community compete for the first-place parade entry.

The parade will end with the annual tree lighting ceremony at Austin Park.

The parade will take place on at 6 p.m. and will go from Redbud Park down Lakeshore Drive to Austin Park. There will be plenty of free parking around Austin Park but getting there early is always ensures a good spot.

“Judging by the amazing response, this year’s parade looks like it’s going to be a hit,” said Patrick Prather of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.

Prather urged community members to register for the parade online, visit the chamber on Facebook or contact the Chamber for details.

“Also, please stick around after the parade for the tree lighting ceremony and pictures with Santa,” Prather said.

“We are taking it up a notch this year with more lights at City Hall and the Visitor’s Center. This is a great event every year and this year looks to be the best so far,” said Clearlake City Manager Greg Folsom.
