Week of December 5 - December 11

Made in Dunedin: Brenda's on the Causeway

For more than 30 years Brenda’s on the Causeway has been a beloved local gem serving breakfast and lunch in the Dunedin Causeway Plaza. Impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Brenda’s is open for business continuing their family-owned and operated legacy of goodness since 1993.

2024 Operation Santa Schedule

Santa and his elves will make their first appearance Saturday, December 7 at the Dunedin Golf Cart Parade. They will be in Dunedin neighborhoods to spread holiday cheer starting Wednesday, December 11. To make it even easier to catch Santa on his journey, we’ve added a daily Santa tracker! The tracker will be updated the day of each route, allowing you to see where Santa is as he makes his way through Dunedin.
