Sonora Christmas Parade Makes Triumphant Return
View VideoSonora, CA — Downtown Sonora was a busy place, and there was much holiday cheer during the 32nd annual historic Christmas Parade.
The weather conditions were near perfect for the return of the event following a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19. There were nearly 70 entries this year ranging from local businesses, to non-profits, churches, first responders, law enforcement officers, and of course Mr. and Mrs. Claus..
The parade is put on each year by the City of Sonora as way to draw visitors downtown on the day after Thanksgiving. It is a formal kickoff to the Christmas holiday season. Many kids stopped by afterwards in front of the Clarke Broadcasting studios to drop off letters to Santa’s elves.
