The Delray Beach Holiday Parade is a beloved tradition that brings the community together for a festive celebration filled with lively floats, marching bands and holiday spirit. Having Coco Gauff as the Grand Marshal adds a special touch to the event, allowing both residents and visitors to see their hometown hero in a new and exciting way.

The city invites everyone in our community to join us in celebrating the holiday season, showing their support for Coco Gauff and experiencing an incredible holiday parade that will undoubtedly be one of this year’s highlights.

The parade will showcase over 70 floats, marching bands, dance teams and walking groups as they make their way along Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Delray Beach towards NW 5th Avenue. Awards will be presented for various categories including Best Non Profit Organization Floats, Best Dance/Cheer Group Performance, Best Business/Commercial Representation Floats and Best Marching Band.

Thanks to a unique bond with the North Pole, the Delray Beach Fire Department has arranged for Santa Claus to accompany them on their fire truck.
