Holly Jolly Jekyll Parade and Lighting of Great Tree

Jekyll Parade, where golf carts don their Christmas best and jingle all the way through the Historic District to the Main Lawn.

Island guests and residents are encouraged to watch the parade along the route and afterward meet on the Main Lawn to view all of the participants. While you’re there, enjoy holiday music and food trucks, visit Skating Village, and work on your Christmas shopping lists at the Pier Road shops. Everyone is encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for the Georgia State Patrol’s Toys for Tots drive.

Line up begins in the Jekyll Island Golf Course parking lot at 4:30 p.m. The parade departs from the parking lot at 5:30 p.m. heading west on Captain Wylly Road, south on Old Plantation Road to Stable Road, then along Pier Road, and will wind behind Sans Souci to end on the Main Lawn around the Great Tree.

Register here. (Walk-up registration accepted) All entries must have working, visible headlights that remain on throughout the parade to participate. Limit one prize per entry.
