Winter Park Christmas Parade

The parade steps off at 9 a.m. at Cole Avenue and heads south on Park Avenue to Lyman Avenue, finishing by about 10:30 a.m. Arrive by 8:30 a.m. to find a curb spot, and bring a folding chair and coffee. Parking near Park Avenue goes fast, so consider SunRail to the Winter Park station. Make a morning of it with breakfast at a sidewalk cafe and a browse through the Park Avenue shops, then walk Central Park to see the holiday decorations.
