America's Children's Holiday Parade
Saturday, December 3, 2011 @ 2:00 p.m. Oakland, California
It begins the holiday season.. a fun time of year. It makes children of all ages stand up and cheer! There are giant balloons that fly high in the sky. They are causing oohs and aahs as they pass by. We have dancing trees and floats on parade. There are marching bands, drill teams and clowns on that day! It’s fun to watch kids see their favorite stars. Hey there’s Snoopy, Miss Rosa, Clifford and Lars!
It’s a holiday celebration for the whole family to enjoy. It even features Santa for all girls and boys. America and the world can watch this great show. It comes from the City of Oakland, a place all a-glow.
