About the parade

The Williston Christmas Parade is how the whole town kicks off the holidays. Families line Main Street as floats, fire trucks, marching bands, horses, and local businesses roll through in lights, with Santa bringing up the rear. It is free, it is festive, and it is one of our favorite nights of the year.

Bring a chair, bundle up, and come early for a good spot.

Be part of it

• Enter a float and put your business in the lights
• Volunteer to help line up entries and keep the night running
• Local groups, schools, and churches are all welcome to march

Enter a float

Float entries are open to members, civic groups, schools, and local organizations. There is no better way to be seen by the whole community in one festive evening. Contact the City of Williston for parade information at 352-528-3060.

Entry forms open in the fall and are located in City Hall.

About Light Up Williston

Immediately after the parade head over to Heritage Park. We will Light Up Williston with our annual lighting event. Enjoy a magical night with your family, friends and the Williston Community. The evening is filled with activities, giveaways, treats, and of course snap a picture with Santa & Mrs. Claus. We are thankful to our Villagers and Sponsors who make this FREE event happen.
