Christmas decorations in stores before Halloween? Too early. Setting up chairs seven weeks in advance for the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade? Perfectly reasonable. We’ve got our chairs, we’re wearing our lights, and apparently we’re not the only ones getting ready! And speaking of lights… we want to see YOU light up the parade route this year! Wear your holiday lights, glow necklaces, light-up hats, or anything that sparkles. Stay tuned… this crowd is only getting bigger! 42nd Annual Belmont Shore Christmas Parade Saturday, December 5 | 6–9 PM 2nd Street, Belmont Shore #BelmontShore #BelmontShoreChristmasParade #LongBeach #LightUpTheShore
