Since 1978, Christmas Preview has been a Downtown Chico tradition...drawing folks together in the heart of our community to officially kick off the holiday season!  Downtown merchants roll out the red carpet and present the finest in hometown hospitality, debuting their holiday offerings, showing off fabulous decorations, and providing entertainment. The DCBA coordinates strolling carolers, and a few other on-street events and activities and invites SANTA to come collect  photos with the kiddos! You have not experienced the holidays in Downtown Chico if you have not experienced Christmas Preview.
