The 53rd Annual Pinellas Park Christmas Parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 12, 2026 starting at 6:00PM.

 

The Pinellas Park Police Department will begin the process of shutting down the route at noon on the day of the parade at Park Boulevard and 66th Street. The closures will proceed eastbound on Park Boulevard and will be completed by the following approximate times:

 

• 66th Street - 1:00PM

• 58th Street - 1:30PM

• 49th Street - 2:00PM

• 43rd Street - 2:30PM

• 40th Street - 2:45PM

​

Interlocking crowd control barricades are installed beginning at 3:00PM in the spectator area on the south side of Park Boulevard, which is roughly between 58th Street and 40th Street. These barricades completely block all driveways throughout the spectator area. Business owners are notified in advance, but anyone looking to patronize the businesses should take note. 

​

Park Boulevard is ordinarily completely re-open to traffic by 11:00PM.

​

All of these times are approximate. While only eastbound Park Boulevard is closed, westbound Park Boulevard still becomes congested as well as 70th Avenue and 78th Avenue in both directions. 

​

To avoid parade traffic, the following alternate routes are strongly encouraged:

​

• East/West - 118th Avenue/Bryan Dairy Road, 82nd Avenue, 62nd Avenue, and 54th Avenue

• North/South - U.S. 19 (34th Street), 66th Street, and Belcher Road/71st Street
