12/07: St. Augustine Christmas Parade

St. Augustine's 67th Annual Christmas Parade ushers in the holiday season with floats, festive decorations, and a Santa sack full of fun. Local organizations and neighborhoods join the, with cars, dogs, floats, and costumed, holiday-themed marchers — making it one of the largest parades in Northeast Florida. Holiday season decorations adorn all the entries, and even Santa joins in the spectacle, as visitors and locals line the Historic District's streets to watch the procession.

The parade begins at the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission of Nombre de Dios at 27 Ocean Ave., proceeds south through downtown, and finishes behind the Visitors Center at 10 West Castillo Drive. Prime watching places include along the west side of San Marco Avenue, turning right onto Cathedral Place, and the right again on Cordova Street. After the parade, Santa stops by the Plaza de la Constitución and will pose for photos with kids of every age.
