Mayor Rex Richardson said the event has brought generations of West Long Beach residents together. Uranga described the parade as a longstanding community tradition and thanked those who have helped sustain it.

Local businesses, nonprofit organizations and community groups can apply to participate by Dec. 1, 2026. The Seventh District Council Office can be reached at 562-570-7777 or district7@longbeach.gov.

The parade began in 1953, when Gertrude Whittle worked with the Long Beach City Council and Council of Churches to decorate the Daisy Avenue median with a Christmas village and nativity scene. The event grew with participation from nearby residents. The city and Seventh Council District now present the parade, which is stewarded by the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance and Maria Norvell, whom the announcement identifies as one of its original founders.
