Come on down to Maya Cinemas from 4 pm to 6 pm for some pre-parade kid-fun. Write a letter to Santa and put it in the North Pole Priority Mail slot OR hand-deliver it to the big guy yourself! Both Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in the lobby of Maya Cinemas (from 4 pm - 5 pm), anxious to hear all your Christmas wishes. Enjoy face painting, crafts, sidewalk chalk fun, free popcorn and more. ONLY from 4 pm - 6 pm on Sunday before the parade!

Pssst...Have mom and dad bring their camera so you can get a picture taken with one of our "Celebrity" parade entrants, Cookie Mouse, May & Miguel and Nate the Great.

Hungry for something warm? Clam chowder & hot chocolate will be available for purchase before, during and after the parade at the Salinas Valley Fish House, located at 172 Main Street in Oldtown Salinas. See you there!
