SeeCalifornia.com likes to promote Pasadena’s glorious Tournament of Roses, Rose Parade<\/a>\u00a0to celebrate each new year. With nearly 1 million people attending various events and millions more worldwide watching broadcasts, this is huge!<\/p>\n Meanwhile, 45 miles south in Sunset Beach residents make preparations for a pre-Christmas parade that’s of no consequence to all but a handful of locals. We often overlook it, forgetting to include No Parade in our\u00a0Christmas Parades<\/a>\u00a0list.<\/p>\n No Parade date is December 21, 2019, 6:03 p.m.<\/p>\n Location: Meet near Jack in the Box on North Pacific Ave., Sunset Beach, CA<\/p>\n While it’s actually called No Parade, it has also gone by other names such as YOT Parade, to poke fun and Huntington Harbour’s and Newport Beach’s Christmas Boat Parades nearby.<\/p>\n Anyone can enter No Parade, but it’s preferred that your bring holiday cheer and decorative lights.<\/p>\n Entrants: \u00a0We’ve seen golf carts, cars, truck, bikes, kids wagons, skateboards, unicycles, and even wheelchairs strung with lights making the two-mile round-trip journey along the town’s greenbelt on North Pacific, then South Pacific Avenue.<\/p>\n The beach-casual parade start time is flexible. Whenever possible, the parade launches with some official vehicle like a fire engine. Oftentimes the parade begins when such a vehicle is able to show up and officiate.<\/p>\n Rain may cancel. Don’t drive a long distance to see No Parade or you may end up seeing nothing at all.<\/p>\n First-hand account: We’ve ridden in a friend’s old Woodie in No Parade. Except for the car’s gas fumes making us sick, being in the parade was almost as much fun as standing and watching it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SeeCalifornia.com likes to promote Pasadena’s glorious Tournament of Roses, Rose Parade\u00a0to celebrate each new year.
