It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…which means it’s time to show off your holiday spirit with the “Annual South Walton Holiday Parade,” Saturday, November 30th beginning at 4  p.m. As is the case each and every year, the parade will stage in front of the Seagrove Plaza (home to Garrett Realty & Bruno’s Pizza), and roll down Scenic Highway 30A, past the rows of spectators and end in Seaside.

Children had the opportunity to tell Santa what they were wishing for this Chritmas in Seaside Nov. 28.
Children Children will have the opportunity to have a chat with Santa.

The celebration continues with Turn on the Town at the conclusion of the parade as Santa and Mrs. Claus take the stage in the Seaside Amphitheater. Santa, master of ceremonies for the evening, will invite all of the kids to join him in front of the stage for a sing-a-long before magically brightening up the town. Then, the countdown begins in unison to “Turn on the Town” and exactly on cue, the magnificent 24-foot tree lights up; all of downtown Seaside is illuminated with bright, holiday lights! Following the lighting, bring your camera for photos with the jolly man from 5:30 – 8 p.m.
