The city said the application deadline for the annual Downtown Merced Holiday Parade has been extended to 5 p.m. Nov. 30. The parade will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, on Main Street from G to N street.
"Sand, Surf & Santa" is the theme of the parade. However, floats can be decorated any way the designers desire, including with religious motifs, tropical settings or even with a Merced snow scene.
Besides the parade, there will be a 1 p.m. dedication of the fountain in Bob Hart Square to Susie Rossi, the woman who revived the annual December parade. After the parade will be the annual tree-lighting ceremony in Bob Hart Square with carolers, cookies, hot chocolate and other festivities.
