Expand to see the parent tip
La Puente’s evening Holiday Parade travels along Main Street, and this year it doubles as a Battle of the High School Marching Bands with cash prizes for the top three bands.
Local kids ages 5 to 17 march too, after three weeks of cheer practice in the La Puente Community Foundation’s Magical Winter Wonderland program, so expect plenty of young performers along the route.
Parent tip: Pick a spot along Main Street near City Hall before 6 pm, and bring a blanket since it gets chilly once the sun is down.

The city screens Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch under the sky at La Puente Park, a natural pick for little ones who are still learning the story of the grumpy green neighbor.
Snacks are for sale, and the money goes to the city’s Teen Voice Program, so a bag of popcorn supports local teens.
Parent tip: Bring low chairs or a blanket and a warm layer. December evenings in the park cool off quickly once the movie starts.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
