Christmas Comes to Calistoga: Tractor Parade and More
Calistoga's holiday season begins Friday with caroling and VOENA, and continues through the weekend with a Santa breakfast, the lighted tractor parade and more family-friendly Christmas fun.
It's one of the Napa Valley's most original and entertaining events: The Calistoga lighted tractor parade takes place Dec. 1, 2012 at 7 p.m. on Lincoln Avenue.
The parade, which features antique and modern farming and earth-moving vehicles decked out with holiday lights, is the centerpiece of an entire weekend of special family events and promotions organized by the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce.
The fun begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the Sharpsteen Museum of Calistoga History with Christmas caroling for all, followed by a 7 p.m. performance by the youth vocal group VOENA.
