North Port’s 2024 Poinsettia Parade & Festival is this Saturday

The traditional North Port Parade, sponsored by Quality TV, will commence at 5 p.m., with a theme of “Poinsettias in Paradise.” As always, spectator admission and parking are both free.

The Poinsettia Parade will travel south down Sumter Blvd., ending at the City Center Front Green, 4970 City Hall Blvd., where the Poinsettia Festival will be held before and after the parade. In the past, the parade has featured more than 50 units, including local businesses and organizations.

Although we are starting early, at 3 p.m., the Poinsettia Festival, presented by Resurrection Pools, will continue to feature the annual tree lighting ceremony, mobile food vendors, entertainment, attractions, merchandise vendors, and much more.
