The holiday season is here, which means the return of the Candy Cane Parade to the City of Hollywood!

In its 57th year, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts is proud to present this year’s parade theme, “Jingle Bell Jamboree,” and it is sure to light up the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk with holiday colors and festivities.

The parade begins at 7pm on the Broadwalk at Scott Street and heads south to Harrison Street. Imaginative floats, marching bands and creative displays from civic, non-profit and children’s groups all come together with the City to put on this hometown holiday celebration. Bring a blanket or lawn chair for top-notch viewing along the parade route or reserve a table at one of the many seaside restaurants for a complete alfresco experience.

Complimentary bleacher seating will be also available at various locations on the sand from Garfield Street to Polk Street with parade announcers stationed across from Charnow Park at Garfield Street and at the Hollywood Beach Theatre at Johnson Street.

To ease traffic, the City encourages parade-goers to park in one of the downtown parking garages and take the free patron shuttles to the beach. The parking garages are located at 19th Avenue at Polk Street and 20th Avenue at Van Buren Street. Prevailing downtown parking rates apply.

The Hollywood Trolley will travel from 10am until 11pm with convenient stops downtown and along the beach for $1 per person, per trip.
