The holidays are a spectacular time to visit the Emerald Coast and Seaside makes it even more special with our annual “Turn on the Town” celebration, November 25th & 26th. The fun includes a beach-themed Christmas parade, the arrival of Santa & Mrs. Claus and the lighting of the entire community. This is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season in beautiful Seaside.

The festivities begin onFriday, November 25that 7:00 PM with our holiday edition of Central Square Cinema featuring the remake of a family classic Christmas flick guaranteed to have you laughing on the lawn. Grab your blankets and head down to the Seaside Amphitheater with a giant mug of hot cocoa for this holiday movie under the stars.

Our holiday fun continues on Saturday, November 26thwith the Seaside Farmers Market from 9:00 AM – 1:00PM. The market features a variety of local vendors featuring fresh produce, baked goods, dairy products, native plants and even some special holiday treats. Stop by and see our friends behind Raw & Juicy in the Amphitheater.

Then grab your spot along 30A for the Annual South Walton Christmas Parade. This Seaside and 30A 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 www.seasidefl.com/holidayparade to download a registration form.

Our celebration continues with Turn on the Town at 5:00 PM as we welcome Santa and Mrs. Claus to the stage in the Seaside Amphitheater. Santa, our master of ceremonies for the evening, will invite all of the kids to join him in front of the stage to have a sing-a-long before magically brightening up the town. Then, the countdown begins in unison to “Turn on the Town” and right on cue the magnificent 24ft tree lights up and all of downtown Seaside is illuminated with bright, holiday lights! Following the lighting, make sure bring your camera and have your picture taken with the jolly man from 5:30 – 8:00 PM.

In an effort to give back to those who are facing tough times this holiday season, Seaside and the Seaside Associated Stores will be holding a canned food drive to benefit Caring & Sharing of Walton County. The drive begins Wednesday, November 23rd and will run through Sunday, December 18th. For every donation of 5 or more canned food items, the Seaside Associated Stores (Pizitz Home & Cottage, Perspicasity, Seaside Classic, Seaside Beach and Seaside Kids) will extend a coupon for 20% off all regular priced merchandise. This is a great opportunity to help stock the shelves of Caring & Sharing, while at the same time getting an amazing deal on your holiday gifts.

And just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Seaside Farmers Market will offer a special holiday market on Wednesday, November 23rdfrom 2:00 – 6:00PM. Pick up your fresh ingredients to make the Turkey Day feast even more spectacular and support our local farmers and producers.
