Manteca’s 53rd annual Christmas parade was viewed by upwards of 7,000 people lining Yosemite Avenue on Saturday evening.
The Manteca Chamber of Commerce staged the parade as well as the Christmas in the Park winterfest in Library Park that featured more than 50 vendors.
Ann King — who has overseen the Chamber’s Flags Over Manteca effort for the past five years among other volunteer efforts — served as the parade grand marshal.
This year’s theme was “Let it Glow.”
