HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The Palm Springs Festival of Lights Parade started on December 5, 1992 and has become a favorite Palm Springs Holiday Tradition. It is always held on the first Saturday in December (which usually coincides with the Annual Tamale Festival in Indio).
The Festival of Lights Parade was the vision of a small group of community members who wanted to offer the community an event that would allow everyone to enjoy the holiday season. Many of those individuals are still involved with the parades’ production.
Every year the parade grows bigger and better. When it started, there were approximately 12,000 spectators and only 32 entries - mostly lighted automobiles and marching groups.
Now the parade attracts well over 80,000 spectators and hosts over 100 entries of all types. Fabulously lighted floats, big rigs, equestrians, bands, autos, and celebrities now entertain crowds of spectators from all over Southern California. You will also find visitors from around the world enjoying the Palm Springs Festival of Lights Parade.
The 2009 Parade Title Sponsor is The City of Palm Springs, and the Presenting Sponsor is the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
