Christmas Parade

$30 Commercial Entry Fee

Old Town Orcutt

The Orcutt Christmas Parade is a community run event that costs about $5.000 annually to produce. These fees cover costs like restrooms, permits, barricades, printing, etc… This year to offset those fees, we have implemented a $30 entry fee for business entries. This fee is waived if you are an event sponsor. We also have included a link if you would mike to make a donation to offset the costs of the Christmas Parade.
