## About

America's Youth organises Fernandina Beach's lighted Christmas parade, which begins at Central Park and fills the downtown streets between Centre and Ash. Bands, dancers and lighted floats make up the procession, listed for 4 to 6 p.m. on December 5, 2026. The Amelia Island tourism office lists it as free and says all are invited, and it lands the weekend after the downtown tree lighting and Black Friday pajama party.
