Easter on Florida’s Historic Coast

A great tradition returns in 2026 with lots of pomp and circumstance–and fun for all.

A celebration at sunrise services, Easter egg hunts for the children, and Sunday brunches at any one of many restaurants around town is all part of the Easter celebration here on Florida’s Historic Coast.

The Easter Parade, or the Parade of Horses and Carriages, as it is known locally, draws thousands of spectators and participants along the bayfront route. Even the Easter Promenade at The Plaza de la Constitucion has become an event in itself, where locals and visitors alike come dressed in their Easter best, including bonnets, top hats and jewelry to compete for titles.
