Turlock Downtown Main Street Christmas Lights on Parade 2008Every since the Turlock Christmas Parade moved from the long time traditional Saturday mornings, thousands more people have come out for the Friday night Lights on Parade.
 
Before the parade even began, people came out for the unveiling of the John Mitchell statue in Central Park at 5pm. The Turlock Downtown Holiday Faire also brought people out early to shop the downtown businesses, enjoy street vendors, hear live music, take pictures with Santa, and go for a carriage ride. Coldwell Banker Endsley & Associates was even a host to a Gingerbread House Fundraiser for Verda’s House, a children’s crisis center here in Turlock.
