It’s time to start planning the 64th Garden City Downtown Development Authority Santaland Parade, coming up on Saturday, November 29, at 10am. The Santaland Parade is the longest running event in Garden City and shows no signs of slowing down.

The parade is completely self-funded and put on by volunteers so financial input from the community is essential. There are many fixed costs every year from barricades to costumes, bands to porta potties, entries to insurance and more.
