The Magic of Toyland: Friday, December 1, 2006, 6:30 PM

The Downtown Organization is pleased to announce Santa Barbara
resident and award-winning actor Christopher Lloyd as Grand Marshal of
the 2006 Downtown Holiday Parade. Lloyd will be joined by the Holiday
Prince and Fairy as they lead this year’s parade and light up State
Street from a horse-drawn carriage.

More than 40,000 spectators are expected to line downtown Santa
Barbara on Friday evening December 1, to cheer a colossal contingent
of high-stepping marching bands, fabulous holiday floats, spectacular
performance groups, Grand Marshal actor Christopher Lloyd, local
personalities, and of course, the most anticipated appearance of the
evening… the annual arrival of Santa Claus, dispensing holiday cheer
from atop his festive sleigh. The Holiday Prince & Fairy officially
light up the night with the lighting of the large Christmas tree at
State & Victoria Streets and the six smaller trees at each
intersection along the parade route.

The parade begins at 6:30 p.m. at State and Sola Streets and concludes
at Cota Street.
