It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Mexico Beach is transforming into a magical holiday paradise! Join us on Sunday, December 7th, at 6:00 PM at Parker Park for our Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony—a cherished tradition filled with festive cheer.

The evening kicks off with a warm holiday welcome, live music, and the highly anticipated arrival of the Golf Cart Parade. Our dedicated elves will then introduce this year’s special tree lighters, who will illuminate our stunning Christmas tree, marking the start of the holiday season.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there! After the tree lighting, keep an eye out for a very special visitor—Santa Claus himself will make a grand appearance to spread holiday joy to all.

As part of the spirit of giving, the Mexico Beach Fire Department will once again be collecting new, unwrapped toys to distribute to families in need within our community. If you’d like to contribute, please bring your donation to the ceremony.

We invite everyone to join us for an unforgettable evening of holiday magic, community warmth, and seasonal spirit in Mexico Beach.
