Several communities are bringing parades back or changing plans for 2026. Salinas’ Veterans Day Parade returns Nov. 11 after a one-year hiatus, while Santa’s Grand Arrival Parade at Sarasota’s University Town Center is set for Nov. 14 with performers, floats, fireworks and a tree-lighting celebration. Belleville’s Santa Claus Parade will take a new route on Nov. 22 because construction has made its former route unavailable, and the date follows the city’s Festival of Lights launch. Santa Barbara’s downtown holiday parade returns to State Street on Dec. 4 for the first time since 2019, featuring a human-powered procession.
