Last yearSA国际影视传媒檚 event was stationary due to the Covid-19 pandemic: attendees had to drive by the parade in their cars. But with thousands of cars packed into downtown, many werenSA国际影视传媒檛 able to see the parade before the 7 p.m. cutoff.

Anyone who wants to enter a float, vehicle or walking group in this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 parade has until Wednesday, Nov. 17 to register with the City.
