## About

St. Augustine's 68th annual Christmas Parade fills the Historic District with floats, cars, dogs, costumed marchers and Santa. It starts at the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission of Nombre de Dios, heads south through downtown and finishes behind the Visitor Information Center; good viewing is along San Marco Avenue, Cathedral Place and Cordova Street. The parade runs 9 to 10:30 a.m. on December 5, 2026 and is free. Santa poses for photos at the Plaza afterwards.
