# Event Details

- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Get ready to “Sleigh the Night Away” at the annual Poinsettia Parade & Festival, presented by Quality TV Smart Home & Security! This North Port tradition brings neighbors together to celebrate the season, support local performers and organizations and create holiday memories with the people who make our community feel like home.

The festivities take place Dec. 5, beginning at 3 p.m. with the Poinsettia Festival at the City Center Front Green. Come early and make an afternoon of it before the parade begins. Cheer on local performers, browse the merchandise vendors and enjoy food and seasonal treats available for purchase from mobile food vendors while the excitement builds around City Center.

Young guests can stop by the Little Elves Craft Workshop for hands-on fun, then share their holiday wishes and take a photo with Santa. It is the kind of afternoon that lets families slow down, spend time together and enjoy the hometown spirit that makes this North Port tradition special

At 5 p.m., all eyes turn to Sumter Boulevard as neighbors line the parade route and the first entries come into view. Illuminated floats, decorated vehicles and community groups will travel south toward City Center, bringing the “Sleigh the Night Away” theme to life with music, lights and imaginative holiday displays. Find a spot along the route and cheer for the local organizations, performers and familiar faces that make the Poinsettia Parade a true hometown tradition.

After the final parade entry reaches City Center, stay for the annual tree-lighting ceremony. Gather with the community as City Center begins to glow and North Port welcomes the holiday season together. It is a favorite hometown moment and a fitting finale to an afternoon spent making memories with neighbors, friends and family.

Free shuttle service will be available from additional parking at the Morgan Family Community Center. Please review the traffic plan for more information on shuttle service and overflow parking.
