Pensacola Christmas Parade

Let's watch the annual Christmas parade from our usual parade spot ... outside O'Riley's on Palafox, giving us easy access to restrooms and food/drink.

The parade starts at 5:30, but get there early. There really isn't a good way to save spots for late arrivals at the parades.

From the press release:
The 2025 Cox Pensacola Christmas Parade will be held Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 5:30pm in downtown Pensacola and will be broadcast from 5: 30 - 7 on WKRG Channel 5 after the Army/Navy Game and will be streamed on WKRG.com. In the event of severe weather, the
parade will issue a cancellation notice prior to 1 p.m. on parade day, and the parade will not be rescheduled

Celebrating its 43rd year, the Cox Pensacola Christmas Parade draws over 50,000 people to downtown Pensacola. The parade has grown to over 100 entries, 5000 participants, including more than 50 floats, 42 Krewes, marching bands from every high school in Escambia County, Pace and
Milton High Schools from Santa Rosa County. The parade also features the nationally renowned Blue Angels flight team and a host of organizations from around the region.
