The 28th Annual Wellington Holiday Parade begins at 1:00 pm, featuring floats, marching bands, clowns, dance troupes, costumed characters and more! Wellington resident and news anchor Jim Sackett, who is retiring from WPTV after 33 years, will serve as the parade’s Grand Marshal.
The parade route begins at Wellington Trace and continues down Forest Hill Boulevard, ending at Wellington’s Town Center and Amphitheater.
