Holiday parades in South Florida

For the winter holidays, South Florida lights up with oodles of dazzling parades.

Holiday boat parades and street parades are a delightful seasonal tradition with family and friends. Some events feature toy drives, if you'd like to drop off  an unwrapped present. Parades are among the many free and cheap holiday events in South Florida.

The first holiday parade of the season is usually the Winternational Thanksgiving Day Parade in North Miami, but this year the Plantation Holiday Parade is the first to kick off the season. Of course, parades are just one part of the holiday fun in Miami-Dade, holiday events in Broward and holiday things to do in Palm Beach counties. The holidays can be expensive, especially in South Florida, and our goal is to share all the free and cheap fun holiday events in South Florida.
