LADY LAKE – The Town of Lady Lake is announcing its annual Christmas parade, taking place on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. at Old Dixie Highway. This year’s theme, “A Storybook Christmas,” welcomes participants to bring their favorite holiday tales to life through floats, costumes, and performances.

“Lady Lake’s charming smalltown annual Christmas parade will bring beloved holiday tales to life with festive floats and cheerful music,” said Lady Lake Events Coordinator Amy Alicea. “Join us as the community comes together to celebrate the magic of the season in this heartwarming annual tradition!”

The Town is currently seeking participants who wish to be part of this festive event.
