LADY LAKE – Join the Town of Lady Lake for an extraterrestrial Christmas spectacle! Get ready to embark on a cosmic journey this holiday season, as the annual Lady Lake Christmas parade takes on the theme “Christmas in Space.” Brace yourself for an out-of-this-world celebration featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus, classic cars, twirlers, clowns, candy, marching bands, horses, and an array of floats traversing down historic Lady Lake streets.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2 on Old Dixie Highway between Guava Street and Griffin View Drive.
Applicants are being accepted now through Nov. 22 on a first come, first served basis. It is free to march, drive or roll in a float, but all parade participants must fill out an application in advance at http://www.ladylake.org.
Parade-goers will encounter Santa and Mrs. Claus like never before as they take to the skies in their very own intergalactic sleigh. Step back in time with a spectacular display of classic cars.
