The Daisy Lane Parade began in 1953 as the brainchild of Gertrude Whittle, who worked with the Long Beach City Council and Council of Churches to help decorate the grass median on Daisy Avenue with a Christmas Village and nativity scene. Today, the parade is stewarded by the Wrigley Area Neighborhood Alliance and Maria Norvell, who is fondly known as the Mother of Christmas Tree Lane.
For groups and organizations interested in participating in the parade, please complete the online application by Monday, December 1, 2025.
For questions or concerns, please contact my office at (562) 570-7777 or District7@LongBeach.Gov.
Stay safe, and Go Long Beach!
Warm Regards,
Roberto Uranga
Councilmember, Seventh District
