The Starlight Parade is returning to Palm Coast after a four-year hiatus on Saturday, Dec. 14.
The parade — originally cancelled because of COVID pandemic restrictions and cancelled again in 2023 because of weather conditions — will begin at 6 p.m. in Central Park in Town Center, a city press release said. The parade will travel through Central Avenue, Park Street, Lake Avenue and Bulldog Drive.
“Families, friends, and neighbors are invited to come together to experience the joy and excitement that this beloved parade has brought to Palm Coast for nearly two decades,” the press release said.
The 2024 theme is “Winter Wonderland,” and will transform the parade into a magical holiday celebration filled with community spirit, vibrant floats, and seasonal cheer.
Though the parade will not begin until 6 p.m., the city will have a multitude of pre-parade activities at Central Park beginning at 3 p.m. Residents will be able to enjoy food trucks, entertainment, and family-friendly activities, including photos with Santa inside Santa’s Village.
The line for photos with Santa will close at 5 p.m.
Anyone who wants to participate in the parade can sign up online at the Starlight Parade events page at www.palmcoast.gov/events/home/details/starlight-parade. It is free to register and the deadline is Wednesday, Dec. 2.
