Starlight Festival

Celebrate the holiday season with your friends and neighbors at the City of Palm Coast’s Starlight Festival in Central Park. The Starlight Festival will look a little different from previous years. Instead of a parade, the floats will park along Central Park; you can view the floats at your leisure while you merrily stroll. The new layout will only require one street to be closed and will give visitors the freedom to come for the fun and leave when they are done. 

Floats will be judged and prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Best Marching Unit, Best Decorated Vehicle, Best Decorated Float, Best School Pride, Best of Festival, Best Local Business, and our newest category, Fan Favorite, sponsored by the Palm Coast Observer.

All live entertainment performances will be scheduled in front of the Christmas tree in Central Park. This gives proud friends and relatives a designated time to come and cheer for their entertainer. Food trucks will be on-site in order to allow visitors to purchase food and beverages. 

And have no fear, Santa will still be there - be sure to bring your camera for pictures with Santa!
