Sun Oct 04 2026
A festive December weekend in Lake Worth Beach
If you are planning an early December escape to South Florida, Lake Worth Beach has a timely reason to visit. The City of Lake Worth Beach announced its 2026–2027 event schedule on September 16, 2026, and it includes the Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 5, 2026 at 6 p.m. in Downtown Lake Worth Beach. The city’s seasonal lineup also lists Bonfire and Night Market dates on November 6 and 20, December 4 and 18, and continuing into January and February, giving overnight visitors more than one reason to turn a parade night into a full weekend nearby. See the city event schedule and browse the city news and upcoming events.
Why this weekend works well for a Lake Worth Beach stay
The December 5 parade falls on a Saturday, and the city’s schedule places a Bonfire and Night Market on Friday, December 4. That creates an easy two-night plan for travelers who want a simple local getaway without overplanning. Friday can be your relaxed arrival night with a beachside event atmosphere, and Saturday can be reserved for time around downtown before the evening parade. The city’s event listings describe Bonfire and Night Market as part of the winter season, while the dedicated event page highlights the beachside mix of cozy bonfires, live music, and ocean breezes.

What to do during your December visit
1. Start Friday with a low-key beach evening
For travelers who prefer a trip that feels local instead of rushed, Friday’s Bonfire and Night Market is a practical anchor. It gives you a set evening activity without filling your entire schedule, and it is the kind of event that pairs well with a casual dinner and a walk by the water.
2. Keep Saturday flexible before the parade
Lake Worth Beach works especially well for visitors who want options close together. Spend part of the day at the beach, browse downtown, or explore dining in the area before heading toward the parade route in the evening. The city’s event schedule confirms the holiday parade timing, so you can build the day backward from the 6 p.m. start rather than guessing. Check the official schedule here.
3. Watch for additional holiday details
The city has also published vendor information describing the 2026 event as the 60th Annual Holiday Parade, which gives visitors a better sense of how established this tradition is in Lake Worth Beach. As December gets closer, official city channels are the best place to confirm route details, parking notes, and any timing updates. See the vendor event listing and visit the city website.
