The city's recreation department lists photo opportunities with Santa and cookie decorating during the day. At 5 PM the Holiday Delites Parade of live performers and moving floats steps off along W 3rd Street. The city tree is lit at 6 PM, and from 6:15 PM Antioch Unified School District bands and choirs perform while families take pictures with Santa and the Grinch. Parade judging happens on W 2nd Street across from City Hall, which is a good place to watch. The city warns that the evening parade and tree lighting depend on the weather: a heavy downpour cancels them. It also says the Delta breeze makes the evening chilly, so bring warm layers. Free to attend. ## Similar picks in San Francisco - [Livermore Holiday Sights and Sounds Parade & Tree Lighting](https://grassyknees.com/san-francisco/activities/livermore-holiday-sights-and-sounds-parade-and-tree-lighting--listing-b9659973cd6129ea4a1ce084) — Sat, Dec 5 · 6:00 PM · First Street, Downtown Livermore · checked Oct 13.
