El Centro Christmas Tree Lighting & Christmas Parade
El Centro, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
The city's holiday weekend starts with a Friday-night tree lighting and street fair at Fire Station 3. The Saturday-morning parade follows on Main St at 8th St. A morning parade is easier on toddlers than an evening one, so bring a blanket or chairs for curbside seating.
