Good morning, Chico.

The 32nd Annual Chico Parade of Lights will take place in Downtown Chico on Oct.

18 at 7 p.m.—families, local businesses, and community groups will join to celebrate creativity with the theme 'Celebrating Our Town' as the parade follows a route from 3rd Street and Salem to Main Street, turning at 6th Street before ending at 4th Street and Broadway.

Chico is asking for volunteers to help with its Veterans Stand Down event, which will offer support services to veterans.

Local organizers will share details—like location and time—in the coming days.

Action News Now reporter Nathan Espindula reported that the October Veteran Stand Down event in Chico needs volunteers—this will help ensure the event takes place as planned.

An Action News Now reporter was allegedly harassed with racial slurs and threats by a man during a community event on Thursday morning in Chico—police later arrested the suspect on a vandalism charge after assessing damage to the reporter's camera.
