San Rafael Parade of Lights & Winter Wonderland

In its 37th year, Downtown San Rafael will host its annual Holiday Parade & Winter Wonderland. This free event features a Holiday Marketplace with arts and crafts, live entertainment, children’s activities, free snow sledding, and one of the largest Holiday Parades in the Bay Area. The event starts at noon with free snow sledding and kids’ activities and a Holiday Marketplace. Following the Parade, Santa, Ms. Claus and other costumed characters arrive with the Mayor of San Rafael to the center of town in the City Plaza to light the official Holiday Tree. Small Business Majority will have a booth at the Holiday Marketplace providing education about Energy Upgrade California, a statewide initiative to reduce energy consumption across the state. We will be distributing free LED holiday lights, materials about energy tips for businesses and more.
