The Los Banos Chamber of Commerce brings its Christmas Parade through downtown on the first Saturday of December, one of the big community dates on the city’s fall and winter calendar.
The city’s recreation guide lists the date and downtown route area, while the Chamber handles entries and the start time, so check with them closer to parade day.
Parent tip: Pick a curb spot early and bring blankets, since Central Valley evenings in December drop quickly once the sun sets.

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.
