It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Downtown Roseville.

The city and Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce are gearing up for the holidays with it's annual parade and tree lighting ceremony set for Saturday, Nov. 19. The holiday festivities kick off with the 50th annual Sylvia Besana holiday parade at 3 p.m. and follows with lots of Downtown events and a Christmas tree lighting ceremony at 6:30 p.m.

The parade route begins at the Vernon Street/Riverside and Douglas Boulevards intersection, runs east along Vernon Street and turns right at Folsom Road. The parade ends just behind the Roseville Square Shopping Center. Later, Mayor Pauline Roccucci and friends will flip the switch to light Vernon Street up with the city's Christmas tree lighting at 6:30 p.m.
