The City of Destin will host its annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 10 a.m., incorporating an ’80s theme to commemorate the city’s 40th birthday.

The parade route will begin at Destin Methodist Church, located at 200 Beach Drive, proceed down Beach Drive, and continue west along Harbor Boulevard (Highway 98) before concluding at Stahlman Avenue. Spectators are advised to view the parade from the north side of Harbor Boulevard.

Float applications are currently available at the Destin Community Center. Instead of charging an entry fee, organizers are requesting participants donate new toys, personal products such as cologne or perfume, or make a monetary contribution. All donations should be delivered to the Destin Community Center.

The deadline for both parade applications and donations is Friday, Dec. 6. Interested participants can submit applications in person at the community center, by fax at 850-654-8998, or via email to Recreation@cityofdestin.com.
