The Key West Holiday Parade 2025 returns on Saturday, December 6, bringing a wave of festive cheer through the historic streets of Old Town. This beloved annual tradition transforms the island into a holiday wonderland with dazzling floats, marching bands, community groups, and a few whimsical surprises that reflect the island’s unique personality. From reindeer riding scooters to snowmen in flip-flops, the spectacle is a one-of-a-kind celebration that showcases the Conch Republic’s joyful holiday spirit.

Families, friends, and visitors line the streets to enjoy the glowing procession. Prime viewing areas include Bayview Park, White Street, Truman Avenue, and Duval Street—where the lights, music, and energy create an unforgettable holiday atmosphere. To enjoy the show in comfort, spectators often bring lawn chairs, festive attire, and a thermos of cocoa for a cozy evening under the lights.

Adding to the excitement, many floats toss candy, beads, and giveaways, so guests are encouraged to bring a small bag for collecting treats. For an authentic Key West touch, parade-goers often dress in tropical holiday style—think Santa hats paired with island shirts.

The Key West Holiday Parade isn’t just a procession—it’s a community tradition that unites locals and visitors alike in a night of laughter, lights, and holiday magic.
