After rescheduling the Christmas parade from last weekend due to weather, the Niceville Christmas Parade has been cancelled for this weekend also due to inclement weather.

“After careful consideration of the weekend weather forecast, the Niceville Valparaiso Christmas Parade scheduled for Saturday, December 9th is cancelled,” wrote the Niceville Valparaiso Rotary Club, who puts on the parade. “We are so disappointed to not be able to proceed with the event.”

In Destin, officials are monitoring the weather but as of now, the Destin Christmas parade is moving forward. The official call on whether or not the parade will continue will be made on Saturday at 7 am.

“Neighboring city floats and families are welcome to join us in Destin,” said Mayor Bobby Wagner.

The floats will start at Destin Methodist Church (200 Beach Drive), travel down Beach Drive, and travel west down Harbor Blvd. (Hwy 98) to Stahlman Avenue.
Stand on the north side of Harbor Blvd. to watch the floats.

In Crestview, city officials are also monitoring the forecast but the parade is still planned for this Saturday.
