The Main Street Crestview Association will present the annual Christmas parade on Saturday, December 7, 2024, transforming Main Street into a festive showcase of Santa’s Workshop-themed displays.

The evening’s festivities will begin at 5 p.m. with the City’s Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, followed by carolers performing holiday songs. The main parade runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Parade participants are invited to create floats and costumes depicting various aspects of Santa’s Workshop, from busy elves to the North Pole’s twinkling lights. The event organizers are encouraging creative interpretations of the theme to make this year’s parade “the biggest and brightest yet.”

The family-friendly event will feature candy distribution, holiday music, and a special appearance by Santa Claus. The parade route will run along Main Street in Crestview.
