About this adventure

The historic brick streets of Park Avenue host the 74th Annual Winter Park 'Ye Olde Hometown Christmas' Parade, Central Florida's oldest continuous holiday parade. Over 80 festive units march down the avenue beneath the shaded oak canopies, including spirited high school marching bands, colorful local floats, dance troupes, vintage fire engines, and Santa Claus riding atop his fire truck sleigh. Families can set up folding chairs or blankets along Central Park's manicured lawns to enjoy the morning procession. After the parade, kids can meet Santa in Central Park, explore the rose garden, and grab warm treats at nearby sidewalk bakeries. The brick sidewalks are wide and curb-cut accessible for strollers.
