Sunday evening marks the 92nd anniversary of the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
Starting at 6 p.m., a procession of marching bands, floats, horse teams and character balloons will pass through the heart of Hollywood. Santa Claus and his reindeer team will be part of the holiday festivities.
The two-hour parade will cover a 3.2-mile route. Starting at Orange Street and Hollywood Boulevard, the parade will head east on Hollywood Boulevard to Vine Street, south on Vine Street to Sunset Boulevard, and west on Sunset Boulevard to Orange Street.
Actor Jeremy Renner will serve as the grand marshal.
“This season of giving is about spreading hope,” Renner, whose foundation supports foster children and at-risk youth, said in a statement. “I'm so excited to share this time with my family and friends from the foundation as we work together to make a difference.”
The show supports the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which annually distributes 18 million toys to 7 million children, according to a news release issued by show organizers.
This event started in 1928 and was called the Santa Claus Lane Parade. It was held every year but from 1942 to 1944 during World War II and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to its organizers.
