61st Annual Children’s Christmas Parade & Pancake Breakfast

Every December since 1965, the volunteers of the Melbourne Beach Vol. Fire Dept. have hosted the Annual Children’s Christmas Parade in Melbourne Beach. The event is considered a small town parade, and was once joked that it was the only parade that would pass by you twice due to the original route up and then back down Ocean Avenue.

While the route has since changed, the spirit of the parade has not. Friends and neighbors all come out and line the new parade route down Oak Street, cheering on all of our community children, floats, and emergency vehicles that enter the parade. Santa also makes a guest appearance at the end of the parade.

Immediately following the parade is the annual Volunteer Firefighters Association Pancake Breakfast, held at the Fire Station.

Like last year, we require online pre-registration if you want to be in the parade. Visit our website at http://mbvfd.com/childrens-christmas-parade/ for more information on this event and to pre-register.
