DEAR Friends,

This year the Los Altos Festival of Lights Parade Association celebrated 30 years of bringing the beloved “Festival of Lights Parade” to our community. The annual theme, “A Child’s Holiday Fantasy,” is sure to delight children of all ages as the parade winds its way through our downtown streets. Not only do we continue to inaugurate new floats, new costumed characters and new forms of entertainment, we promise the return of many old – and treasured – favorites.

The Los Altos Festival of Lights Parade Association is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization composed of community volunteers who work throughout the year to make the parade a success. The volunteers recondition floats, coordinate the entrants, wear and repair costumes and raise the funds to present the Parade each year. Having no corporate sponsors we depend on private donations, as well as two major fundraisers, “Rock Back The Clock”, and the “Antique and Collectibles Faire”, to raise the $20,000 necessary to stage this yearly event.

As we celebrate our 30th year, we are presented with a special challenge. Many of our original floats have been around since the very beginning and as you can imagine, are showing significant signs of age and disrepair. These floats are in need of professional repair or replacement to retain their place in the Parade. In addition, the magical costumes carefully sewn and maintained by our volunteer costume makers are in need of refurbishment as well. We urgently need additional donations to keep our floats maintained and to buy the new material and lights that make our costumes so delightful.

Please help us continue this wonderful Los Altos tradition. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s 31st Annual “Festival of Lights Parade” on November 30th . It’s a Los Altos holiday tradition!
