Kicking off the holiday season, the City of Venice Holiday Parade is always the Saturday after Thanksgiving downtown.

Parade officially begins at 6:30 p.m. from the corner of Park Boulevard and W. Venice Avenue heading east. Floats will proceed on the north side of W. Venice Avenue after crossing over Harbor Drive. From there, the parade turns onto Nokomis Avenue heading south and travels down to Turin Street. Floats will unload at the Venice Community Center. 

Pre-parade entertainment begins one hour before the parade start time at Harbor Drive and Venice Avenue and at Nokomis and Venice avenues.
