New to the site: the Escondido Jaycees, along with the City of Escondido, present the 75th Annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 5, 2026. The parade steps off at 6 p.m. on Grand Avenue, starting at Juniper Avenue and running to Orange Avenue in downtown Escondido, making it the longest-running Christmas parade in Escondido.
Grand Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic from Centre City Parkway to Valley Boulevard starting at noon on parade day, including side streets from Valley Parkway to 2nd Avenue.
Because the Jaycees were still finalizing full event details (lineup, entertainment schedule, and exact parade length) as of this writing, exact end time is estimated; check the organizer’s site closer to the date to confirm.
