Locals met Santa, drank hot chocolate, roasted marshmallows and watched performances by local school groups at Palm Coast’s second annual Starlight Festival on Saturday, Dec. 10.
Special guests included Santa Claus, the Grinch, Sheriff’s Office deputies and Palm Coast firefighters.
There were food trucks, hot chocolate stands and activities such as train rides, Santa’s Village, and marshmallow roasting.
The Bunnell Elementary School Cheerpups, Buddy Taylor Middle School Eaglettes, Flagler Palm Coast High School Starlets, Flagler Palm Coast High School Band and Planet E Studios performed.
The festival, now in its second year, replaces the city’s previous Starlight Parade.
The festival, like the parade, features floats, but the festival floats are stationary rather than moving, so the city only has to close down one road in Central Park for the event.
