Holiday in Lights Clearwater

A Sea of Santas. One Unforgettable Holiday Celebration!

Get ready for a holiday celebration unlike any other as the Santa Beach Dash takes over Clearwater Beach! Hundreds of Santas will trade their sleighs for sneakers and hit the streets for a festive dash filled with holiday spirit, laughter, and plenty of Christmas cheer.

As part of Holidays in Lights, AMPLIFY Clearwater’s season-long celebration connecting Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach, Santa Beach Dash brings together residents, visitors, families, and holiday enthusiasts for a one-of-a-kind beachfront experience.

The festivities kick off at the Naughty Village at Coco’s Original, where participants will gather in their best Santa attire for a lively holiday celebration before the run. From there, a sea of red and white will make its way together to the official starting line, creating a festive parade of Santas through Clearwater Beach.

Once the Santas are in position, it’s time to dash! Participants will take off on a spirited half-mile run, making their way to the finish line at Pier 60 Park, where the holiday festivities continue.

But the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line!

Following the run, Pier 60 Park transforms into a festive holiday gathering featuring live music, entertainment, local vendors, food and beverage offerings, interactive activities, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the season with family and friends. From festive photo opportunities to the lively atmosphere of hundreds of Santas celebrating together, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Whether you’re running, walking, cheering from the sidelines, or joining the festivities afterward, Santa Beach Dash promises an unforgettable day of holiday fun against the beautiful backdrop of Clearwater Beach.

So grab your Santa suit, gather your friends, and get ready to spread some holiday cheer. The more Santas, the merrier!
