The 44th annual Seal Beach Christmas Parade will usher in the holidays on Friday, Dec. 2. The three block long “continuous motion and entertainment parade” will launch from the Pier at 7 p.m. and travel down Main Street to Pacific Coast Highway. This year’s theme is “Christmas Under the Sea.” More than 85 returning entries are already registered and they are looking for another 15 to complete the parade. For registration and sponsorship information, contact Newton at (562) 537-3955. Email: Scottnewton2@hotmail.com. You may also register on the Lions Website: sealbeachlions.org. Organizations are encouraged to register soon as the parade will sell out.
