Each year, the Pinellas Park Christmas Parade grows larger. More participants and even more specators! Last year, there was an estimated 20,000 spectators along Park Blvd. Here at Celebrate Pinellas Park, Inc. we work all year to ensure that our parade is the best that it can be for our dedicated spectators, some that have not missed one parade since 1972. But, we are glad to see new faces each and every year.

Every year, people begin showing up on Park Blvd to set up their lawn chairs, etc around 4:30pm at the earliest considering Park Blvd is not fully shut down until 4:00pm. We encourage you to bring your lawn chairs, blankets, etc to enjoy our parade. There really aren't designated parking areas for spectators as many simply walk from there homes nearby which is by far the easiest way. Usually there is parking available at First Baptist Church, Park Plaza, Home Depot, and the Shoppes at Park Place, however, park at your own risk.

For those with special needs, there is a wheelchair seating area located in front of Taylor Family Funeral Home located on the south side of Park Blvd at the intersection of 53rd Street. For pick up and drop off purposes, this seating area is best accessed from 70th Avenue. If you are a caregiver, etc and would like more information, please call our parade hotline: (727) 547-8050.

Our utmost concern each year is safety. You hear on the news time and time again of a child being run over by a parade float and we are very fortunate in 37 years of conducting this event to have seen no such incident and we'd like to keep it that way. Help us to help you by keeping your children on the sidelines.

On behalf of the Celebrate Pinellas Park, Inc. Holiday Parade Committee, we hope you enjoy our 38th Annual Christmas Parade!If you have any further questions about anything at all, please call our parade hotline: (727) 547-8050.
