Palm Springs, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
The city's illuminated holiday parade has run down Palm Canyon Drive every year since the early 1990s. It features marching bands, lit floats and Santa, and draws an estimated 100,000 people. Stake out curb space on Palm Canyon early, and expect downtown road closures and full parking lots.
