Participants and spectators—armed with raincoats, plastic ponchos and umbrellas—enjoyed the town's 56th annual winter processional that included 246 entries.

Sponsored by the Los Gatos Lions Club and Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation, the one-mile route began on North Santa Cruz and Almendra avenues to Main Street and all the way to Los Gatos High School.

Los Gatos Meats & Smokehouse owners John and Brian Chiala and daughter Jackie Rose were the parade's grand marshals this year.
