Tips & Advice
- Bundle up for an evening outdoors along Coleman Boulevard, since you'll be watching fireworks, marching bands and lighted floats, with Santa arriving on a firetruck.
- Get to your spot before the fireworks, because they start the festivities before the parade rolls out from Live Oak Drive.
- Don't plan on taking the Ravenel Bridge off-ramp onto Coleman Boulevard, because it closes for the parade and all traffic is diverted to Highway 17.
- Leave the drone at home, since the Town asks pilots not to fly over or along the route, and night flights need an FAA waiver.
- Check the Facebook Event Page on parade day, because that's where the latest updates on the event's status are posted.
