Fabulous! Lovely! Amazing! the reviews are in for 2021 - let's do it again in 2022 on December 8, 2022. See below for details on the 2021 event.
The 2nd Annual
Dickens Illuminated Procession
walking parade will open the Dickens on Centre festival on Thursday, December 9th. Participation is free and open to all visitors and community members alike!
Folks and food trucks will begin gathering at 5:30pm near the Welcome Center (old train depot) on Front Street. At 6pm, parade-goers and their lanterns will enjoy a leisurely stroll up Ash Street and into Fernandina’s historic district before turning down Centre Street back to the waterfront, where they will be greeted by music, food trucks, and general holiday merriment! Fireworks will be the finale to the Illuminated Procession and will launch at 7pm sharp from the river.
Marchers may carry something that reflects good cheer and holiday spirit—and that shines, glows or twinkles. (No open flames or candles, please. Only battery operated lights and lanterns will be permitted.) Show your creativity and spirit and create homemade lanterns.
Located just off the coast of northeast Florida, Amelia Island is easy to reach, but hard to forget. With 13 miles of beautiful beaches, abundant native wildlife, and pristine waters, this barrier island has long been a beloved destination for visitors and residents alike.
