The traditional Holiday Parade follows on Saturday, December 4 at 10:00 a.m. all throughout downtown. Come see the traditional floats and the newly decorated floats all competing for awards including Best Themed, Gnome for the Holiday, and more. The parade is featuring the Mayor, City Council, and the our Grand Marshal Kaylin Whitney an Olympic gold medalist from Clermont.

Also back by popular demand the Enchanted Forest of Trees at Victory Pointe will be open daily from November 20 to January 2. Enjoy the 50 trees decorated by local businesses and organizations while listening to Holiday music and enjoying the sights. A mailbox, that sends letters directly to the North Pole, is also located at the Enchanted Forest of Trees so that children of all ages can drop off their letters to Santa. The mailbox will be available until 12/20/21. Do not forget to include your address on your letters because Santa will write you back!
