Tips & Advice

  • Pick your spot along Main Street between Montauk Highway and Ocean Avenue, because that's the stretch the parade travels.
  • Stay to the very end, because Santa arrives last, riding on top of the Center Moriches FD tower ladder.
  • Keep Sunday, December 13 free as a backup, because that's the parade's rain date if Saturday's weather turns bad.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors on Main Street while the fire trucks, ambulances and community groups roll past.
