Drivers Information

  • What types of vehicles are in the parade?​

    • We're looking for classic cars and classic trucks, we're also looking for unusual vehicles - we've had a restored milk truck/van in the parade, we've had a decorated trash truck, a  1932 Ford Phaeton, a 1956 Ford COE (Cab-over-engine) Truck with Jack Skellington riding and even a  2012 International 4400 towing a backhoe with Drippy the San Bernardino Municipal Water District Mascot riding the backhoe .  Also some vehicles that aren't classics are in the parade because they're performing necessary  parade functions - carrying characters for example - or they have parade staff in them doing parade duties (directing the parade, tweeting the parade location, etc.)​

  • All vehicles for the 2024 The Community HoHo Parade Season have been selected and there is a waiting list.  We are no longer accepting applications.  

    • ​All applicants were notified of  their application status by November 11, 2024

      • We are not accepting late applications.

      • If you applied on or before November 11, 2024 but didn't make the 35 parade vehicles you are on the wait-list/stand-by list in case someone drops out prior to the parade. (It occasionally happens - family emergency, work, car problems...)

      • The Vehicle Parade Application for the 2025 Community HoHo Parade will be posted in mid-September 2025. 

  • Please be at the parade departure location by 5:30PM. When you get to the starting point check in with our Parade Manager for your vehicle location in the lineup.​
