Spend the entire month of December, and some of November, celebrating the holiday season on Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach. With events like Spark the Spirit kicking off the holiday season and the Christmas Parade, the holiday spirit is alive in NSB! Just because the weather is still warm and the beach is just a few steps away doesn’t mean it won’t feel like the holidays here, especially on Canal Street.
Spark the Spirit
This family-friendly event kicks off Christmas on Canal with a Tree Lighting Ceremony, Live Entertainment, and Santa’s Grand Entrance. Watch the joy on your kids’ faces when they get to meet Santa and visit Santa’s Work Hub. Stores and restaurants will have extended hours so you can enjoy great eats in NSB and shopping while you join in the festivities. Join this festive event on November 25th from 5 pm to 7:30 pm in Christmas Park on Canal Street.
Coastal Christmas Market
The day after Spark the Spirit, make your way back to Canal Street and get some Christmas shopping done at the Coastal Christmas Market. Support local businesses and artisans by shopping their handcrafted holiday items, and local charities by purchasing their baked goods. There will be music and demonstrations to enjoy while you browse the 90+ vendors. Visit the Coastal Christmas Market on November 26th from 9 am to 5 pm.
New Smyrna Beach Christmas Parade
Enjoy the Annual Christmas Parade and feel the festive spirit of the holiday season in Florida’s favorite east coast beachside town! The parade will begin on Flagler Ave and will travel west to Canal Street. Take in the beautiful and creative parade floats built by members of the community. The parade is on December 3rd from 4 pm to 6:30 pm.
Holiday Boat Parade
Finally, we have the Holiday Boat Parade on December 10th at dusk. Watch as the decorated and creative boats float across the water along the Intercoastal Waterway in New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater. Watch this festive event from Riverside Park and feel the holiday spirit.
