Thanks to Everyone Who Helped Make Parade Route Merry and Bright
A big thank you to the businesses and community volunteers who helped make the Old Town Goleta Holiday Parade on December 6th merry and bright.
It was a tough decision again this year, but a panel of three judges from the City selected the following winners for our 3rd annual Window Decorating Contest:
- Best Overall Window – Classic Collision
- Most Creative Theme – Larry’s 8 Day Auto Parts
- Most Festive Display – The Edge Salon & Barbershop
- Honorable Mention – Goleta Bakery
- People’s Choice Award – Classic Collision
Community members voted for the People’s Choice Award by viewing photos of the participating businesses on the City’s social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and X) or through an online photo album and letting the City know their top choice by leaving a comment or sending an email.
Thank you to Fuel Depot for providing prizes for the winners.
A big shout out to three amazing community volunteers — Peichi Waite, Matt Martins, and Arielle Goodson — for leading the effort to paint and decorate a vacant Old Town window storefront ahead of the holiday parade. They did a great job!
See for yourself photos of the participating businesses online here. Or you can head over to Hollister Avenue in Old Town from Orange to Kinman and check them out for yourself. The displays will be up throughout the rest of the holiday season.
Happy holidays!
