Stuart Florida Christmas Parade 2012

Stuart Florida Christmas Parade 2012

For 2012, it’s the 52’nd annual Stuart Florida Christmas parade in downtown Stuart on Friday, December 7 starting at 7 PM.  We’re anticipating nice balmy weather so bring your chairs and maybe a sweater and pick your favorite spot on East Ocean Blvd to watch the much anticipated annual parade.

This year’s theme for the Christmas parade is “Christmas by the Sea”.  Look for the almost 50 floats to be pulled by dolphins and fish instead of the traditional reindeer.

There will be two prizes for the float most adhering to the theme (one for floats over 30 feet and one for under), best use of lights and music (again two awards based on the best float over 30′ and one for under) and the big prize know as the Stuart Main Street’s Choice award.

Along with the floats, will be marching bands, baton twirlers, firetrucks and a slew of local dignitaries.

We expect all age groups to flock to their favorite holiday parade to get into the Christmas spirit.

The spirit and contributions of the organizers and founders of this parade only add to the uniqueness of this long-standing tradition. Planned, supported, and celebrated by the Martin County Community the Christmas Parade in Downtown Stuart this Friday is a local tradition not meant to be missed.
