Vote for your favorite, festive Roseville wreath!

The 4th Annual “Street of Wreaths” in Downtown Roseville (on Vernon Street) is now happening through the entire month of December!

This holiday experience provides your family the opportunity to stroll down Vernon Street in the Downtown Roseville area and view the beautifully-crafted wreaths produced by the students in the Roseville Adventure Clubs (the after-school programs in many of our local schools).

And these aren't just your traditional pine tree wreaths. There are ones decorated with everything from snowflakes to gingerbread men.

The public is invited to participate as judges while viewing the wreaths in the merchant storefronts along Vernon Street. Please help vote for the “Top 3 Wreaths” by obtaining a Voting Form at one of the 5 Ballot Drop-off Locations below. (It should look like the above picture).

The voting will officially end on December 11th so a winner can be announced by the Downtown Roseville Merchants before the schools go on vacation (but the wreaths will remain on display through December).

Ballots and Wreath Maps can be picked up at the following merchant locations:

First Bank (201 Vernon St)
Nice Twice Consignment (209 Vernon St)
A Dash of Panache (217 Vernon St)
Chester’s Jewelry & Loan (239 Vernon St)
Prime California Homes & Lending (428 Vernon St)

Happy Voting!

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.

For more information and events for the holidays, be sure to check out DowntownRoseville.com.
