Don't miss Dunedin's annual downtown holiday parade featuring festive floats, bands, performers, and, of course, Santa Claus! Then stay downtown for the festivities where you can enjoy live music in Pioneer Park, and activities along Main St and Broadway including horse-drawn carriage rides, ice-skating, snow slide, kids crafts, games, face painting, s'mores, street performers and singers, and snow flurries!
Holiday Parade
Watch Santa arrive in downtown Dunedin as the holiday parade begins at 3:30 pm and travels along Douglas Avenue, from Beltrees Street and heads north to Skinner Blvd (580). The parade will feature holiday-decorated floats, bands, performers, and, of course, Santa Claus!
Old Fashioned Christmas Festivities
Immediately after the parade, Downtown Dunedin is transported back in time as old fashioned Christmas activities and entertainment and yes, even snow, are spread throughout downtown. Children, families, and the young at heart can enjoy Clydesdale horse-drawn carriage rides, ice-skating, snow slides, kid's crafts, old fashioned games, face painting, live music in Pioneer Park, and roast marshmallows to create gooey s’mores! And to cap off this great event, make sure to visit Santa Claus!
