圣迭戈 Ocean Beach 假日游行12月5日黄昏登场:节日树5时点亮,游行5时05分出发

位于加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县圣迭戈市的 Ocean Beach 社区,一年一度的假日游行将于 12 月 5 日(周六)黄昏登场:社区节日树下午 5 时点亮,游行 5 时 05 分沿 Newport Avenue 出发,免费观赏。
今年游行的主题是「Jingle Jungle Boogie!」。主办方介绍,队伍有 100 多支参加单位,包括花车、行进团体、学校、本地商家与居民家庭,是圣迭戈最具社区自发色彩的节日游行之一。游行由 Ocean Beach 社区基金会与 Love Thy Neighborhood 共同维护主办,Ocean Beach 主街协会支持。
这项传统在 Ocean Beach 已延续 40 多年,以「任何花车都算数」的随性风格闻名:装饰过的卡车、高尔夫球车、冲浪店队伍、舞蹈团体甚至牵着狗的家庭都会出现在队伍里,与圣迭戈其他规整的大游行气质截然不同。
无法到场的居民可以通过主街协会设在 Newport Avenue 的实时摄像头观看游行。主办方建议观众提早到场,车位可考虑 Robb Field 与海滩停车场一带。

Ocean Beach's Holiday Parade Takes Over Newport Avenue at Sunset on December 5
Ocean Beach, the beach community in the City of San Diego in San Diego County, California, holds its annual Holiday Parade at sunset on Saturday, December 5: the community holiday tree is lit at 5 p.m. and the parade steps off down Newport Avenue at 5:05 p.m. Watching is free.
This year's theme is "Jingle Jungle Boogie!" Organizers count more than 100 entries — floats, marching groups, schools, local businesses and families — in what is one of San Diego's most community-driven holiday parades. The event is stewarded by the Ocean Beach Community Foundation together with Love Thy Neighborhood, with support from the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association.
The tradition has run for more than 40 years with an "any float counts" spirit: decorated trucks and golf carts, surf shops, dance groups, dogs and families on foot all join the lineup, giving it a character unlike San Diego's more formal parades.
Residents who cannot attend can watch through the MainStreet Association's live camera on Newport Avenue. Organizers suggest arriving early, with parking at Robb Field and the beach lots.
