The 2010
Christmas by the Sea Festival Parade will be held on Saturday,
December 4th at 2:00pm on
Oak Island. Stepping off from 4601 E. Oak Island Drive
traveling Oak Island Drive to McGlamery Street. Please find a
parade application and calendar of events below. The parade
application deadline is Monday, November 29th. The parade will
begin at 2:00pm this year, an hour earlier than previous years
to address a safety concern. The concern arose from the parade
growing in length over the years causing the last units to
finish at dusk.
