Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: December 12-18

There's lots to do this weekend!

Saturday is the annual Yucaipa Christmas Parade. It starts on California street at noon, and will head down Yucaipa Boulevard to City Hall. Santa will be on the last float.

Saturday is also Operation Santa Claus, run by the Yucaipa Police Department. Kids are welcome at any of five locations to meet Santa and receive candy from the PD's float (I guess no tossed candy during the parade this year).
The stops:

• 5:20 PM at Dunlap Elementary School
• 6:00 PM at Von's Parking Lot
• 6:45 PM at the Bryant & Oak Glen Road Stater Bros.
• 7:30 PM at Sail Drug
• 8:15 PM at the County Line Road 99cent Store parking lot.

The VFW (12235 California St.) will hold it's annual party for children immediately after the parade. Santa will appear at 3pm. The pulic is welcome.

Note: all entries subject to change. Call to confirm the bands and cover price.
