FORT BRAGG, CA., 12/1/25 – The holiday season will officially arrive Saturday when hot rods and logging trucks cruise through downtown Fort Bragg decked out in festive lights for the Nor Coast Rodders Car Club’s annual Light Truck Parade.
A fundraiser for the Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund, the parade features more than trucks and hot rods — classic cars and historic fire engines will also join the fun.
The event is one of several fundraisers the club hosts for MCCF, including its Father’s Day car show and the recent trunk-or-treat at the C.V. Starr Community Center. The club reports raising about $5,000 each year for the organization.
MCCF provides resources children need to thrive on the coast, from Westport to Elk. From its downtown resource center, the nonprofit helps children receive medical care, mental health services, clothing and other support.
The parade begins at 6 p.m. at West Pine Street. The route travels from West Pine to Franklin Street, then west on Oak Street before heading north on Main Street and ending back at West Pine.
The club welcomes vehicles of all kinds to participate: trucks (including semis), tractors, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, boats, wagons, lawnmowers, golf carts — even people and pets. If it can roll or walk with holiday lights, it’s invited.
Entry costs $25 per vehicle, with all donations going to MCCF. More information is available at http://www.norcoastrodders.com.
