Baldwin Park Holiday Parade Returns December 5; Group Entry Deadline Is November 2

BALDWIN PARK, Calif. — October 31, 2026. Local organizations hoping to join Baldwin Park’s annual holiday parade have a short deadline ahead: Monday, November 2.

The city has announced that its 2026 Holiday Parade takes place December 5 and is accepting applications from community groups, including floats, bands, drill teams and youth organizations. Its official August 25 announcement lists November 2 as the entry deadline.

How to apply

Groups should obtain the official application from the city’s Holiday Parade Entry Form 2026 page. For questions about eligibility, safety, vehicle requirements or participation, call (626) 813-5245, extension 302, or email Arojo@baldwinparkca.gov.

The published notice does not itself specify parade start time, final route, entry fees or total remaining slots. Applicants should verify those details directly rather than rely on the schedule from previous years.

What spectators should know

December 5 is the event date, not the registration cutoff. Residents who simply plan to watch should check later announcements for route, road-closure information and viewing locations. Organizers may adjust details as the event gets closer.
