Montrose Christmas Parade Association
Mission Statement
To provide the best community based Christmas parade to all the residents of Glendale, Montrose and surrounding communities.
About Us
The Montrose Christmas Parade was originally conceived in 1976 by Founder, Frank Roberts.a Montrose Shopping Park merchant, to attract shoppers at the start of the Christmas shopping season to the unique and eclectic collection of shops, businesses and restaurants along Honolulu Avenue.We are all saddened by the loss of the Montrose Christmas Parade Founder, Frank Roberts, who passed away October 18, 2005. The 2005 parade was dedicated in memory of Frank and his passion, dedication and spirit of volunteerism.
Very much a family-focused parade, more than 150 community service and youth groups, drill teams and bands from the surrounding cities participate in the parade each year. We have the unique honor of a fly-by with Santa Claus in one of Glendale's finest Police helicopters. We also enjoy the participation of many units from the Glendale Police Department, Glendale Fire Department, California Highway Patrol, and the Montrose Search and Rescue Team.
Thousands of spectators gather along the parade route to be a part of this annual Montrose tradition. Charter Cable provides broadcasts of the parade frequently during the holiday season. Over the years parade has become the highlight of the holiday season and is recognized as the official Christmas Parade for the City of Glendale.
It is because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers staffing and heading up committees and the generous support of local businesses, organizations and individuals that the Montrose Christmas Parade continues in its fine tradition.
The Montrose Christmas Parade organization is very grateful to the Montrose Chamber of Commerce, the Montrose Shopping Park Association and the City of Glendale for their long time and generous support of the Montrose Christmas Parade.
