The City of Palm Coast invites residents and visitors to join us for a magical evening on the water at the 42nd Annual Holiday Boat Parade on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. 

The City of Palm Coast announces the cancellation of the annual Starlight Parade scheduled for this evening due to a forecast of heavy rain and potentially hazardous weather conditions. The latest reports indicate reduced visibility is likely along the parade route, creating unsafe conditions for parade floats, walkers, first responders, and spectators.

The City’s 2025 Employee of the Year is Melissa Hill, Stormwater Citizen Resource & Outreach Coordinator. Melissa has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to exceptional customer service, teamwork, and community engagement. Her leadership in expanding autism awareness efforts within the Stormwater Department and across the organization has made a meaningful and lasting difference. 

The City of Palm Coast is excited to light up the night with the Annual Starlight Parade this Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Central Park in Town Center. This cherished holiday tradition brings families, friends, and neighbors together for an evening filled with lights, music, food, and festive cheer.
