The Candy Cane Parade on Hollywood Beach is one of the longest-running holiday parades in the country. It was started in the mid-1950s by a group of Hollywood merchants as a way to draw patrons to their shops and businesses. Today, it features dozens of lighted floats and vehicles along the parade route entertaining the thousands of spectators who line Broadwalk.

Things to know:

The parade begins at 7pm on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk at Missouri Street and heads south to Harrison Street.
