This event is the
much-anticipated beginning to our community’s busy holiday season and brings
much needed support to our Downtown area. In addition to the Parade, other
activities scheduled for the day include: a variety of vendors representing
local businesses and organizations, Live entertainment, Downtown Tree Lighting, Trail of Treats, Grinchville, Santa's Village, Float Contest and more! The Holiday Festival & Parade is expected to draw over 10,000 attendees to
Downtown Gilroy this year!
The Gilroy Downtown Business
Association would like to invite you to partner with us to once again make this
event truly magical for our community.
We are requesting all sponsors to reply with their sponsorship level by
November 15th, 2025, in order to be advertised on our Holiday Parade Banners and also marketed in print and social
media.
