What to expect

One of Florida's older Christmas parades, with floats, bands, and Santa working a crowd that lines the route early. It lands mid-Nights-of-Lights season, so the whole downtown is already dressed for the occasion.

Before you go

Morning parades in St. Augustine mean parking pressure by 8 AM. The Visitor Center garage is the reliable move. We will update this page when the city confirms the 2026 date.
