The Annual Navarre Community Christmas Parade will start at 2 pm at the Navarre Library and will roll south along Presidio, making a left at Esplanade Street and ending in the back parking lot of Centennial Bank.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive by fire truck in the parade and will be available for photos with children as soon as the parade ends. Visits are free and parents are invited to bring their cameras for photos. Back by popular demand, the Grinch will also make his way into the park and will take pictures with the kids who dare to greet him. The Navarre Chamber will also be taking free family and group photos - just look for the "Free Family Photo" sign. Free baked goods and hot beverages will be available at Mrs. Claus’ Bakery after the parade.

The 20-foot Christmas tree will be erected in the park. The tree lighting will take place at 5:30 pm. Entertainment, featuring local schools and choirs from the Navarre area will start at 3:00 pm and continue throughout the event and will conclude with the lighting of the Christmas Tree.
