After a three-year hiatus, the Starlight Parade is returning to Palm Coast.

The Starlight Parade will be held on Dec. 16 at 11 a.m. and will begin on Belle Terre Parkway in front of Belle Terre Elementary and Indian Trails Middle School, according to a press release from the city. The new venue was chosen to ensure the safety of viewers and participants.

Palm Coast and Flagler Schools worked together to bring Starlight Parade back to life, "providing a platform for our community to come together, share joy, and create lasting memories," the press release said. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office will oversee traffic control during the event.

Pre-parade activities will start at 9 a.m. Community members are invited to get involved in the planning by voting on a theme for the Starlight Parade: Toy Trains & Candy Canes, Holiday in Florida or Winter Wonderland.

Residents can vote on the theme on the Starlight Parade event page. Anyone interested in participating in the parade must register on the event page by Friday, Dec. 1.
