Beaufort is a small town with a lot of personality, and this fun and coastal culture is on full display at the annual Beaufort Christmas Parade. Held in the heart of the waterfront downtown, the yearly parade is a fun event for visitors of all ages, and is a celebration that is sure to put all Crystal Coast visitors in a holiday state of mind.

The event takes place along Front Street, which is well known as Beaufort’s main drag, and which is located in the heart of the historic and charming downtown region. Through the folks or groups who participate in the parade change every year, spectators can expect to see a number of creative floats, live music, local organizations and community businesses, and much more, including a special appearance by Santa Claus himself. The parade route follows the downtown Front Street, which makes it easy for anyone to find a spot along the waterfront to enjoy the show. With lots of community spirit and plenty of fun and surprises along the way, the Beaufort Christmas Parade is a seasonal event that can’t be missed.
