About The Hollywood Christmas Parade:
Since 1928, the live Hollywood Christmas Parade has been a loved and cherished annual holiday tradition enjoyed by Angelenos, as well as by millions watching the televised airings of the parade nationally on The CW Network, and internationally on Armed Forces Network around the world. 

The Hollywood Christmas Parade was originally called the Santa Claus Lane Parade. When the American performer Gene Autry, who was known as The Singing Cowboy, was riding on his horse down Hollywood Boulevard in the 1946 Santa Claus Lane Parade, he heard young parade spectators in the crowd exclaim, “Here comes Santa Claus!” This incident became the inspiration for Autry to compose the traditional perennial Christmas holiday song, “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane),” which he co-wrote with Oakley Haldeman in 1949. Autry first recorded the song in 1947. The song was released as a single by Columbia Records, and became a #5 country and #9 pop hit at the time. Gene Autry is the only celebrity to have five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one in each of the five categories, Motion Pictures, Radio, Recording, Television and Live Theater. Today the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard at Highland Avenue, part of the Hollywood Christmas Parade route, is named Gene Autry Square.

Grand Marshals who have appeared in The Hollywood Christmas Parade during the last 93 years have included such iconic celebrities to today’s stars as Gene Autry, Dale Evans and Roy Rogers, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, Danny Thomas, Dick Van Dyke, Pat Boone, Fred McMurray, Buddy Ebsen, Ernest Borgnine, John Wayne, James Stewart, Ron Howard, Michael Landon, William Shatner, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Tony Danza, Sammy Davis, Jr., Arnold Schwarzenegger, Louis Gossett, Jr., David Hasselhoff, Beau Bridges, Dennis Hopper, Frankie Muñiz, Peter Fonda, Mickey Rooney, Johnny Grant, Magic Johnson, George López, Susan Lucci, Larry King, Marie Osmond, Joe Mantegna, Buzz Aldrin, Stevie Wonder, Penn & Teller, Olivia Newton-John, Mario Lopez, Sheryl Underwood, Danny Trejo, Jeremy Renner and Luke Wilson, and many more.
