Tips & Advice
- Arrive early for the festival to enjoy the full range of activities, including the ice skating rink and Santa meet-and-greets, before the parade begins.
- Bring your own skates if you have them for the free ice skating rink, though rentals may be available.
- Find a good spot along Main Street well in advance of the 6 PM parade start time to ensure a great view of the floats and participants.
- Carry cash for any purchases from local vendors and food trucks, as not all may accept card payments.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as December evenings in Florida can be cool, especially after sunset.
