Castro Valley’s Light Parade is returning to Castro Valley Boulevard on Saturday, Nov. 11, sponsored by the Castro Valley and Eden Area Chamber of Commerce. Honoring our veterans is this year’s theme. The boulevard will be lined with booths from Lake Chabot Road to Redwood Road, with lots of food, bands, and a kids’ area by Club Anywhere starting at 3 p.m. The parade will start at 5:30, as it’s starting to get dark. “There are only two rules for entries,” said Mel Speed, who’s been helping organize the event for years for the Chamber. “You have to light up, and you can’t have any Santas on board.” That’s because Santa, just one of him, is at the end of the parade, joined by reindeer on his sleigh. After the parade, people are welcome to get on the float and take pictures with him. !""#$%&'(#)*#+,-"#.
