A Parade of Lights and Community Spirit

The parade kicks off at Lakeshore Blvd., making its way through Pennsylvania Ave., 11th Street, Massachusetts Ave., and back to Lakeshore Blvd. Families, friends, and visitors are encouraged to line the route and enjoy the colorful displays and lively entertainment.

Adding to the excitement, local organizations and businesses are invited to participate in the parade by registering a float. Those interested in being part of the celebration can contact St. Cloud Parks & Recreation at 407-957-7243 or parksandrecreation@stcloudfl.gov.
