Event Sponsors

🎄 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Christmas in the Park & Community Christmas Parade Canceled 🎄

We’re heartbroken to share that this year’s 31st Annual Christmas in the Park and Community Christmas Parade, scheduled for Saturday, December 6, has been canceled due to inclement weather.

Our team explored every possible option — including moving vendors indoors and rescheduling — but unfortunately, the weather and logistics just didn’t cooperate this year.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to all of our amazing sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and entertainers who worked so hard to make this event happen. Your support and community spirit are what make Navarre so special. ❤️

Even though we can’t celebrate together this weekend, we look forward to bringing the holiday magic back even bigger and brighter next year!

Stay safe, stay warm, and thank you for your continued support of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
