Divisions for the parade are commercial/business, individual and groups, churches and not-for-profit organizations. In addition to the divisions, entries are designated by three categories; self-propelled, towed and non-motorized/walkers.
"The
Pacific Power Holiday Parade of Lights is one of Seaside's great traditions,"
said Chamber President Russ Vandenberg. "It's a lively homegrown
event. It's lights, it's fun and Santa will be there to help us enjoy
the spirit of the holidays. We hope many of the local youth and civic
organizations will present entries."
Entries will be judged from the categories in all three divisions based on Best Use of Lights, Best Spirit of the Season, Best Children’s Entry, Best Animal Entry and Best Motorized Entry.
