OB Holiday Parade

For some, it’s the excitement of seeing the Point Loma Marching Band strut their way down the street, or the SD Roller Derby Dolls in their eye-catching costumes. For others, it’s watching the VW Beetle Club and Classic Woodies roll down Newport Ave.

Some prefer the motorcycles, brightly-lit floats and countless bands that fill the beach with live music. Whatever your pleasure, OB has it all. Of course the Big Man himself….Santa Claus….will be making his appearance too!

Come And See The 40th Annual OB Holiday Parade

After the festivities, the nightlife of OB takes off as locals and visitors celebrate and spread Holiday Cheer at the many unique local bars, breweries and eateries! People of all ages are invited to join us at this fun-filled event. Costumes, cheering and laughter are not only welcomed, they are encouraged!

Come see for yourself what the locals have known for over 40 years…Santa would rather be in OB! Be sure to invite all your friends at the Annual OB Holiday Parade!

See you there!
