28th Annual Fairfield Harbour Parade
Sunday, December 1, 2024
3:00 pm parade kick-off!
Red Sail Park will be bigger and better than ever! It will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland! Santa will be our honored guest in the parade and travel in style on his “special sleigh.” He is guided by those famous nine reindeer in decorated golf carts. Yes, Rudolph, with his nose so bright, leads the way. Santa and his entourage will arrive at Red Sail Park, where Santa will be escorted to his throne. There, he will give out presents to all the children.🎁
The Fairfield Harbour Christmas Parade is thrilled to have West Craven High School Marching Eagles again this year. They will add to the excitement and joy of the parade.
Parade Route: Line up at the Cart Barn, the golf cart path, and along Pelican Drive. We will begin at the Cart Barn, cross Gondolier Drive to Helm Drive, and end at Red Sail Park. The lineup is from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, and the parade starts at 3:00 pm. To ensure everyone's safety, the lineup time is firm. Roads are closing at 2:30 pm to all vehicular traffic. Rest assured, road closures will be posted closer to the parade date.

Heightened Security:
We live in a community with many advantages, one of which is the presence of security at our gate entry points as well as security patrol to help keep our community as safe as possible. In the interest of everyone's safety, Fairfield Harbour security will be increased.
Here are the precautions we are taking:
Gate Entry:
-
Pelican Drive will be closed between Felucca Drive and Gondolier starting at 2:30 pm to ALL VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. No exceptions. If you are in the parade, you must be at the line-up before 2:30. You may walk into the parade from Felucca, but no cars, floats, trailers, or golf carts will be allowed past Felucca Drive after 2:30 pm.
-
Santa Lucia, Crow’s Nest and Navidad Bank will be closed to traffic 2:30 – 4 pm. If you live on Santa Lucia or Navidad Bank Court, you may use Caracara to enter or exit the community. If you live on Crow’s Nest or Sloop Court, please note your entry or exit will be closed between 2:30 - 4 pm.
-
The boat launch ramp will be closed from 2 pm – 4 pm.
-
Guests must be called into security by the resident they are visiting. You can contact security at the main gate at 252-636-5566. If your guests name is not on the log at the main gate, they will be denied entry.
-
No large trucks or contractors’ vehicles will be granted entry between 2 pm and 4 pm except for vehicles and floats that are in the parade.
-
West Craven band members will arrive by bus by 2 pm. Band members, parents, grandparents or guests must be on an approved list that must be delivered by the WCHS band director to the security main gate prior to the parents and guests’ arrival or they will be denied entry into FH.
Change in fire engine procedures concerning sirens: During the parade, fire engines will use horns, bells, and whistles but will ONLY USE SIRENS IF AN EMERGENCY IS ACTIVATED. IF YOU HEAR A FIRE ENGINE SIREN, AN EMERGENCY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. In that case, all people, vehicles, and golf carts should immediately move to the right-hand side of the road or pull off the road entirely if you are able, stop your vehicle, and allow emergency vehicles the access they need.
