The night concludes with the lighting of the magnificent Christmas tree symbolizing the beginning of all the wonderful holiday offerings that makes Dunedin so delightful this time of year.

Parade
The parade kicks-off at 4:00 pm in downtown Dunedin with decorated floats, bands, performers, and of course Santa Claus. Thank you to our Parade Sponsor: Joe's Family Plumbing Inc., Clearwater.
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, Christmas caroling, festive bands, live music in Pioneer Park featuring "Modern Measure," old fashioned games, children’s crafts, roast marshmallows to create gooey s’mores, face painting, and slide down the “can’t miss” gigantic snow slides. New this year - Ice Skating! All ages can experience the thrill and glide around the rink. And to cap of this great event - make sure to visit Santa Claus to let him know your Christmas wishes for the year.
