TYBEE ISLAND CHRISTMAS PARADE: December 6, 2014
This will be the fifth year of having the Tybee Island Christmas Parade the first Saturday of December.
The Christmas Parade is a standing Tybee tradition during Tybee for the Holidays. The time period of
the street closures for the parade is kept to a minimum with help from the city,volunteers and
participants. Businesses, residents and others from neighboring communities participate in marching to
spread holiday cheer with those along the route. As the parade marchers lead Mr. & Mrs. Claus from
downtown to the Gym,children's excitement builds for their time with Santa and activities at the gym
coordinated by the Tybee YMCA. Each year, parade participation increases and we anticipate this trend
to continue.
