Long Beach Sea Santa Sail-A-Bration- A Waterless Boat Parade

The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and Long Beach Main Street are excited to announce that Sea Santa Sail-A-Bration is returning to Long Beach and this year it’s going to be more magical than ever. Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 6th, 2025, as we bring a joyful night of Christmas cheer to Harper McCaughan Town Green and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This isn’t your ordinary Christmas parade. The Sail-A-Bration is our very own “waterless boat parade” where festive, brightly lit boats on trailers travel down Jeff Davis Avenue, bringing the wonder of the season to life with lights, music, and maybe even a little snow. The parade begins at 5:15 p.m. and once Santa makes his grand entrance on the final “boat,” the fun continues at the Town Green with holiday activities for the whole family including photos with Santa, milk and cookies, candy cane bingo, reindeer food crafting, caroling, and so much more.

This year we’re proud to share that the proceeds from this event will go directly to CASA of South Mississippi. CASA plays a vital role in our community by advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect, ensuring that every child has a voice and the support they need to feel safe and seen. By supporting this event, you’re not only joining in a beautiful community tradition, but you’re also helping to change the lives of local children who need it most.

Let’s make this year’s Sea Santa Sail-A-Bration a night to remember, one that brings our community together, celebrates the season, and gives back in a truly meaningful way.
