On Saturday, Nov. 30, the 31st Annual Chuy’s Children Giving to Children Parade will be held, benefiting the Austin Police Department’s Operation Blue Santa. Enjoy giant inflatable balloons, festive holiday floats, famous children’s characters, spectacular marching bands, cool classic cars, and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself. Attendees are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to donate at a designated time during the parade procession. Santa’s Helpers will line the parade route and help spectators give their toys. The parade starts at the State Capitol at 11th and Congress, moving south on Congress to Cesar Chavez, ending just north of the bridge. Toys will be distributed by Operation Blue Santa to children in need, just in time for the holidays. To date, organizers have collected over a quarter of a million toys for the children of Central Texas. This is made possible by the thousands of spectators, young and old, who come out each year and share in the great joy of giving. For more information, visit www.chuysparade.com.
