Naval Air Facility El Centro will host their annual Holiday Parade of Lights Friday.

All Imperial Valley is invited to join the sailors and their families for the festive event. You can expect nearly 25 floats and marching groups, a classic car club, civic agencies, local businesses and of course, the world famous 501st Star Wars costuming group. KXO Radio's Gene Brister returns as the parade's premiere announcer. 

Gates open at 6:00 p.m. and families are encouraged to bring their own chairs. Food and beverages will be available for sale. Due to security protocols, all drivers must be prepared to show their driver's license, registration and proof of insurance. Additionally, all adult passengers should be ready to show their state-issued identification or passport. The parade starts at 7PM.
