SUMMARY:Lakeland Christmas Parade! - December 3rd.
DESCRIPTION:The Lakeland Christmas Parade is a time-honored tradition\, enjoyed by the community for generations. The 45th Annual Lakeland Christmas Parade will take place on Thursday\, December 3\, 2025\, at 7:00 p.m. \nThe event will start with a dazzling fireworks display over Lake Mirror at 7 p.m. As the first firework is launched\, the parade will officially begin. Leaving the RP Funding Center\, the 1.25-mile parade route travels down Lemon Street toward downtown. The parade then turns at Main Street to Cedar Street and winds around Lake Mirror\, travels Orange Street and ends at the RP Funding Center.   \nThe Lakeland Christmas Parade includes floats\, marching bands\, and decorated trailers.  The parade will end with everyone’s favorite\, Mr. and Mrs. Claus atop their sleigh.  \nThe City asks that no chairs be placed on the parade route until the day of the parade. Fire Chief Doug Riley says\, “We understand people want a good vantage point to watch the parade. Unfortunately\, we have chairs blocking sidewalks and crosswalks days before the parade.”  Police Chief Sammy Taylor adds\, “This causes a major hazard\, especially for those in our community who use wheelchairs and walkers to get around.” \nThe City will remove/relocate chairs that are totally blocking sidewalks\, in the way of crosswalks and hindering the use of disabled parking spaces.  “We understand the excitement surrounding this event\, but we are also concerned about the safety of all citizens.”  Riley and Taylor said\, “Please\, no chairs on the parade route before the day of the parade.” Chairs\, tape\, blankets\, and other materials used to save viewing spaces will be removed if placed in public right-of-way before the day of the parade. Residents unable to make the parade in person are encouraged to watch live on Spectrum Channel 643\, and FiOS Channel 43. The broadcast will also be streamed with closed captions on www.lakelandgov.net and will be available as a video-on-demand service.
