Mariposa Merry Mountain Christmas Parade

Kick off the holiday season in true small-town style at Mariposa’s beloved Merry Mountain Christmas Festival, themed “A Cowboy Christmas” for 2025. This festive evening lights up historic downtown Mariposa with a joyful parade starting at 5 p.m., followed by a community tree lighting near the courthouse. Expect glowing floats, carolers, local groups, and a warm Sierra foothill spirit, plus cozy treats, visits with Santa, and plenty of holiday cheer. Bring your family, bundle up, and experience the magic of Christmas in the heart of Gold Country.
