Turn on the Town - Seaside's Annual Holiday Tradition 11/27/10

Join us for a magical day in Seaside! First, stake your spot along 30A for the Annual South Walton Holiday Parade. This Seaside tradition begins at 4:00 PM in front of Seagrove Plaza. Residents and visitors share in the glory as participants march 1.5 miles down Scenic Highway 30A from Seagrove decked in their Christmas best on festive holiday floats. The parade ends in Seaside as we welcome our special guest to town aboard a vintage fire truck.

Parade participants should meet at the Seagrove Plaza at Garrett Realty no later than 3:15 PM with decorated entries. Registration for parade participants is required; please visit Parade Registration Form to download a registration form.

Our celebration continues with Turn on the Town at 5:00 PM as the one and only, Santa Claus, our master of ceremonies, asks all the kids to join him in front of the stage to sing along to a few verses of jingle bells. Then, the countdown begins in unison to ?Turn on the Town.? ??Three, two, one?? and with a flick of a switch the magnificent 24ft tree magically lights up and all of downtown Seaside is illuminated with bright, holiday lights! Then, make sure to stick around to have your picture taken with the jolly man from 5:30 ? 8:00 PM.

In an effort to give back to those who are less fortunate, Seaside asks that you bring a new, unwrapped toy when visiting with Santa to be donated to Caring and Sharing of South Walton County. These toys will help make Christmas much brighter for those children in Walton County who may not normally receive a present under the tree. For more information on this great, local organization, you can find them online at: Caring and Sharing of South Walton County.
