About this Event
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 Begin at Coco's Original!
The holiday fun kicks off at 10:00 AM at the Naughty Village at Coco's Original, where participants can pre-game, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and gather in their best Santa attire before the big dash.
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.
At 12:00 PM (noon), it's time to dash! Participants will take off on a spirited ½-mile run, making their way to the finish line at Pier 60 Park, where the holiday festivities continue.
The Party Doesn't Stop at the Finish Line!
Following the run, Pier 60 Park transforms into the ultimate beachfront holiday celebration featuring live performances by Pirate Flag Band and DJ R-Son! Get ready to dance, sing along, and keep the holiday energy going with an afternoon of music, entertainment, and festive fun.
The celebration will also feature local vendors, food and beverage offerings, interactive activities, and the crowd-favorite 60-Foot Flip Cup Challenge! From festive photo opportunities to the lively atmosphere of hundreds of Santas celebrating together, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Dash for a Cause!
