For nearly sixty years, the Panama City Jaycees have hosted the annual Jaycees ‟ Christmas Parade in Downtown Panama City". Thousands of spectators line Harrison Avenue each year to watch the wonders unfold, and today is the day for the parade!  The floats began gathering just north of the marina early in the day and finishing touches were being made throughout the afternoon.










The gathering of floats, bands and parade participants was unbelievable.  There were so many groups, I couldn't keep count.  The parade began at 6:30 pm and continued to approximately 8!  Below are a few of the floats that participated.  A good time was had by all, young and old!




And here is tonight's sunset, taken from the back of our boat - what a view!!
