Looks like Santa’s Parade of the Elves in South Miami is returning this year!
Presented annually by the South Miami Parks & Recreation Department, this popular and festive event has been scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 5. 2021.
Once picked as “Best Small-Town Parade” by the Miami New Times, the event along Sunset Drive has become a South Miami tradition that keeps growing each year. (Of course, last year’s edition was canceled.)
Starting at 2 p.m., you’ll find the streets flooded with floats, horses, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, dancers, horses, marching bands and more. And let’s not forget Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Want your little elves to participate in the holiday fun? Organizers say elves are wanted: “Searching for cute little elves to lead the parade as we welcome Santa to town.”
