The Jaycees Christmas Parade returns to Downtown Panama City for another round of floats, marching bands and Christmas spirit.

The Jaycees expect to have upwards of 130 floats, plus marching bands from schools throughout the county. The parade will be televised live on local cable.

The parade begins at 5:30pm, but spectators are encouraged to arrive early if they want to get a good spot! Past parades have proven to be extremely popular and the floats tasteful and eye-catching.

Jaycees members on floats will have blankets that they use to catch coins thrown from the crowds. All proceeds will go to buy gifts for underprivileged kids.
