Crestview Main Street Merchants

ONE WEEK AWAY! Food Truck Friday returns!

March is almost here & so are Food Truck Fridays!

1st Friday of every month & March will be extra special!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the parade and festivities scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, have been rescheduled due to extreme weather conditions. We would also like to clarify that the the NEON Food Truck Friday festivities planned for Friday, January 30, 2026, will continue as scheduled.

Forecasts show temperatures dropping rapidly, with early Saturday morning lows in the teens and low 20s, and wind chills reaching the single digits. While our area is projected to hover around 30–35 degrees, the conditions pose a safety concern for participants, volunteers, vendors, and attendees alike.
The safety of our community is always our top priority.

That said—we are excited to share that we will be rescheduling the Saturday celebration for Saturday, March 7, 2026! 🎉💜. Registrations will remain open until March 3rd to enter the car show and parades!

It’s officially Mardi Gras season, Crestview! 🎭
In just a little over 3 weeks (Jan 30-31), our downtown will come alive with parades, music, food, and family fun.
Start planning now—this is a celebration you won’t want to miss! 💜💛💚

📣 IMPORTANT PARADE UPDATE 📣

We have been holding out hope and praying this weather would turn around, but unfortunately it does not appear to be improving. With the safety and enjoyment of our community in mind, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the Christmas Parade for Saturday, December 6th.

❗ But don’t worry — we are ONLY postponing! ❗
The parade has been rescheduled for Sunday, December 7th and all festivities will remain exactly the same!

✨ NEW PARADE DAY: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7
🎄 Tree Lighting: 5:00 PM
🎅 Parade to follow immediately after

Come early, grab a good seat, and enjoy the evening! We’ll have:
🍔 Delicious food trucks
🎭 Amazing characters to entertain the crowd
🎅 A magical Storybook Christmas celebration for the whole family

Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and kindness. We can’t wait to celebrate with you on Sunday and bring the magic of a Storybook Christmas to Main Street! 🌟

Do us a HUGE favor and share this post so we can make sure the people of Crestview see this update! 🫶🏻

🎄✨ The Crestview Christmas Parade is LESS than a week away! ✨🎄

We are so excited to bring this magical holiday tradition back to downtown Crestview! ❤️💚

We wanted to share a quick update:
🌦️ We’re keeping a close eye on the weather.
🤞 We’re hopeful it turns around (because… Florida 🌴☀️).
📅 But just in case, we are working on securing a backup date if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Make sure you’re following this page so you don’t miss any updates on parade details and weather announcements! We’ll keep everyone in the loop as soon as we know more. 🎅🚒🎶

Let’s get ready for the most festive night of the year! 🎁✨
