San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade and Holiday Bowl 2012
Just when you thought all the holiday parades were over, we've got one more big parade here in San Diego. The San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade is the prelude to the Holiday Bowl, which takes place this Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012. Billed as the biggest balloon parade in the country, the parade features marching bands, floats, drill teams, and dozens of enormous inflatable balloons.

The day's festivities start of with the Weinerschnitzel Weiner Dog Finals and the parade starts at 10am on Harbor Dr. in front of the Country Administration Building. The route turns left on Ash St. and then right on Pacific Highway, ending between E and G Streets. After the parade, bring the family to the Big Bay Family Festival held on the Broadway Pier.
An exciting game is expected at this year's Holiday Bowl between Baylor University (7-5) and UCLA (9-4). Kick-off is at 6:45pm Pacific at Qualcomm Stadium and will be televised on ESPN.
