Welcome to the Seal Beach Lions Club!
2021 Christmas Parade
|
Welcome to the official Seal Beach Christmas Parade website. We have another great parade planned for you and your family. Our theme this year is “Surf’s Up for Christmas”, a tribute to Surfing legend Rich Harbour.
This year marks our 43rd year of ringing in the Holidays! The Old Town tradition will feature more than 100 entries and as many as 3,000 parade participants. This is a ‘continuous motion’ parade that will include marching bands, dancing groups, youth groups, equestrians, classic cars, local businesses, floats, military displays and more. We will have four separate announcing stations along Main Street keeping everyone informed and the event will be televised on SBTV3. The parade runs the entire length of Main Street from the Pier to Pacific Coast Highway. The first entries step off at 7pm with the final entry, Santa, travelling down the street about 8:15pm. Normally the parade concludes by just after 8:30pm. This will be a great evening to come early to shop or eat dinner at the many restaurants in town. The parade is produced by the Seal Beach Lions Foundation with support from the City of Seal Beach. A big thanks goes out to our presenting sponsor - FRESH CUT CREATIVE. We look forward to seeing you along Main Street for this wondrous holiday event. Happy Holidays! Scott Newton, Parade Chairman |

The Red Car is an important part of Seal Beach history. As such, this vital historical resource will remain in the community. The Seal Beach Lions Club will be working with the City on Land Lease and other agreement logistics.
The Seal Beach Community deserves the long-term preservation of all the community’s historical resources. The Seal Beach Lions Club looks forward to working with both the Community & City to reach that end. The club plans to assess the Red Car condition and continue restoration of the railroad crossing sign as its first steps. Best Regards, SB Lion 1st Vice President, Scott Weir |
