Navarre Community Christmas Parade – 1:00 PM
The celebration rolls at 1 PM, stepping off from the Navarre Library, traveling south along Presidio Street, turning left on Esplanade Street, and finishing in the back parking lot of Centennial Bank. Keep your eyes peeled—Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with The Grinch, arrive by fire truck and head straight to Navarre Park for free photo opportunities right after the parade.

Warm up with free baked goods and hot beverages at Mrs. Claus’ Bakery—because nothing says holiday spirit like cookies, coffee, hot tea and cocoa with friends and neighbors.
