The 48th Sylvia Besana Holiday Parade

Who doesn’t love a festive holiday parade? (I hope no one said “Bah humbug”!) Because while I will never be a fan of all the holiday commercialism and Black Friday frenzy, I think I’ll always have a little love for a holiday march downtown.

It’s a great way to get out and support nonprofits, local groups and businesses. And you are just in luck because Roseville's downtown parade is this Saturday. This year the 48th Annual Holiday Parade has been renamed the Sylvia Besana Holiday Parade in honor of Sylvia, one of Roseville’s long-standing volunteers and a founding member of the tradition.

The parade will begin at Riverside/Douglas/Vernon intersection and proceed east along Vernon Street, turn right at Folsom Road and end behind the Roseville Square Shopping Center.
