"A Storybook Christmas" for 2019 Christmas in the Village

FALLBROOK – It will be "A Storybook Christmas" in the Friendly Village this year, the theme for the annual Fallbrook Christmas Parade chosen by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. Participants are encouraged to incorporate this theme in their window decorating downtown and on Christmas Parade floats.

The annual Christmas Parade will be held Saturday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. on Main Avenue in Fallbrook. The parade route begins at Ammunition Road and ends at Ivy Street near the historic Mission Theater. This year marks the 38th anniversary of the cherished nighttime event.

Planning for this community tradition is already underway, and entry forms have started arriving at the chamber office, 111 S. Main Ave. A limit of 100 entries will be accepted, with the deadline for entry being Wednesday, Nov. 13.

The parade is a wonderful way to kick off Christmas in the Village and is preceded by the downtown Village Artisan Faire two weeks prior Saturday, Nov. 23, and the Community Christmas Tree Lighting event at the Fallbrook Community Center Friday, Dec. 6. Postcards detailing the holiday events in the village are available in the chamber office.

Anyone who would like to be a part of this festive parade, can stop in and pick up an entry application at the chamber office, or download an entry form at the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce website by visiting http://www.fallbrookchamberofcommerce.org and click on the "Events" tab.

Sponsorship packages are now available as well. The Christmas Parade is a gift to the community and everyone can be a part of it. To make a contribution to this special traditional holiday event, contact the chamber for details at (760) 728-5845.
