位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县的 Long Beach 市，第 72 届 Daisy Lane 圣诞游行将于 12 月 12 日（周六）举行。游行下午 5 时从 Daisy Avenue 与 West Burnett Street 交口出发，向南行至太平洋海岸公路再折返，约晚 7 时在 West Hill Street 与 Maine Avenue 一带结束，沿线免费观赏。
今年还多了一个晚上：12 月 13 日（周日）晚 7 时至 9 时，Daisy Avenue 与 20th Street 交口的中央绿化带将举办第二晚社区娱乐活动，让错过游行或意犹未尽的居民再聚一次。
Daisy Lane 游行是 Long Beach 历史最久的社区圣诞传统之一，1953 年由居民 Gertrude Whittle 创办，Daisy Avenue 一带因此得名「圣诞树巷」（Christmas Tree Lane），长期组织者 Maria Norvell 被邻里称为「圣诞树巷之母」。游行如今由市府与第七区议员办公室主办、Wrigley 地区邻里联盟协办维护。
市府提醒，游行当晚 Daisy Avenue 沿线将实施交通管制，沿线居民与观众请留意市府发布的封路时段。

Long Beach's 72nd Daisy Lane Christmas Parade Rolls on December 12, With a Second Night of Entertainment
The City of Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, California, presents the 72nd annual Daisy Lane Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 12. The parade steps off at 5 p.m. at Daisy Avenue and West Burnett Street, travels south to Pacific Coast Highway and back, and ends around 7 p.m. near West Hill Street and Maine Avenue. Watching is free.
This year adds a second night: on Sunday, December 13, from 7 to 9 p.m., the Daisy Lane median at Daisy Avenue and 20th Street hosts an evening of community entertainment for neighbors who missed the parade or want an encore.
The Daisy Lane parade is one of Long Beach's oldest neighborhood Christmas traditions. It began in 1953 under resident Gertrude Whittle, turning Daisy Avenue into "Christmas Tree Lane," and longtime steward Maria Norvell is known as the "Mother of Christmas Tree Lane." The parade is presented by the City of Long Beach and the Seventh Council District, and stewarded by the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance.
The city advises that streets along the Daisy Avenue route will be controlled on parade night, and residents and spectators should check the city's posted closure times.
