This year marks Chico Parade of Lights' 31st annual celebration! Our theme this year is "Unity in the Community" Come have fun by being a part of the Chico Parade of Lights on Sat, October 15, 2022 at 7:30pm in Downtown Chico!

Parade of Lights 2012
The 2022 31st annual Chico Parade of Lights theme “Unity in Community” invites you to celebrate everything related to our wonderful community!

Entries can highlight people, places, events, volunteers, and all that we did to help our family, friends, neighbors, and community these last two years!


And of course, as many lights as possible!

Note: You can't use too many lights! Lights should be your #1 focus on you and your entry. Make your entry entertaining and bright for the spectators along the parade route.

There will not be a single judging stand; parade judges will be stationed at various points along the parade route. Entries must keep moving during the parade to prevent back-ups and uneven spacing of the entries along the parade route.

Come join the celebration – joining together as a community and enjoying the magic of a brilliant light parade!
