It's a stunning display of twinkling lights and festive decorations as the parade marches through the streets of Discovery Bay. 2026 marks an exciting transition for the parade as its driving force, Amanda Dove, retired and passed the torch to Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce and Discovery Bay Community Foundation, assuring the parade will continue after 23 years under the former director's helm. Bring your family and friends to experience the holiday spirit in a unique way.
