Who doesn’t love a good parade? It may not be the Macy’s Day Parade, but it is a morning filled with marching bands, Elvis, Santa and his elves, classic cars, and a personal favorite, holiday floats!
The Parade is a fundraiser for Operation Blue Santa, and they encourage you to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the parade. Santa’s helpers will come collect it from you as the parade marches on.
This tradition started in 1989 as an effort to raise awareness for the toy drive that was already taking place at local Chuy’s restaurants. It tripled the amount of donations they receive and continues to grow each year. If you can’t make it to the parade, local Chuy’s and other restaurants around Austin will be accepting donations throughout December.
When: November 28th
