Christmas parades in Pensacola and Molino have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the parade will go on in Jay in North Santa Rosa County. Organizers said the Pensacola Christmas Parade was been canceled because it would be impossible to socially distance with over 50,000 attendees and 5000 participants. The Molino Christmas parade benefits needy families in the community, and donations are still being accepted even though the parade has been cancelled. However, the Jay Christmas Parade will roll on Saturday, December 5th at 11 a.m. It will be followed by a festival on Commerce Street with Santa’s workshop, food and craft vendors.
