Toys for Tots is once again a parade participant. Participants and spectators are encouraged to bring a donation of a new, unwrapped toy for our local Toys for Tots drive. Volunteers will collect the toys at the beginning of the parade.
The parade route is designed to enable all entrants to complete the entire route. It begins on John Sims Pkwy at the intersection of Palm Blvd. and goes west to Partin Drive where the parade will turn north and travel up Partin Drive between the Children’s Park and Ruckel Middle School.
