Benicia’s annual Torchlight Parade has become such an institution that even Peter Pan, Wonder Woman, Batman and Pocahontas chose to take part in it. They weren’t the only ones either. Superman, Princess Leia, Aladdin, Cinderella, Moana and many other popular characters– several of them Disney properties– walked in the parade and even got to mingle and take pictures with young fans lining the sidewalks. These characters came courtesy of My Once Upon a Time, a Benicia entertainment company that provides actors dressed as popular characters for children’s parties, baby showers, baptisms, weddings and other engagements.
