Every December, Hollywood, FL trades its beach-day energy for holiday cheer when the city’s Candy Cane Parade rolls down the Broadwalk. This local tradition dates back decades, and the 2026 parade is set for Saturday, December 5, starting at 7:00 p.m.
When and Where
The parade begins at Missouri Street on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and heads south to Harrison Street, with lighted floats, marching bands, local dance groups and a Santa Claus appearance along the route. The City of Hollywood posts updated lineup and road-closure details on hollywoodfl.org as the date gets closer, so it’s worth a quick check before you head out.
Tips If You’re Watching With a Group
The Broadwalk fills in quickly for this one, especially near Hollywood Boulevard, so claim your spot at least 30–45 minutes before the 7 p.m. start if you want an unobstructed view. Bring a blanket or low beach chairs, and expect the restaurants and bars along the Broadwalk to be busy before and after — a good excuse to book a dinner reservation for the evening.
Make It Part of Your Holiday Stay
Our Hollywood, FL properties sit about a 10-minute drive from Hollywood North Beach Park, which makes the Broadwalk an easy add-on to an evening out rather than a separate trip. If you’re hosting extended family or a big group for the holidays, Total Oasis — our five-unit property with eight bedrooms and room for up to 30 guests — gives everyone their own space to spread out after the parade, with a shared pool, BBQ area and pool table for the nights you’d rather stay in. Traveling smaller? Sunrise, Oasis, and the Sunset A/B/C studios and apartments suit couples, small families or a quick weekend escape, each with a full or compact kitchen, free parking and self check-in whenever you arrive.
