Junior Orange Bowl Parade: Miracle on the Mile

The Junior Orange Bowl's Miracle on the Mile Holiday Parade, now in its 78th year, fills Downtown Coral Gables with floats, marching bands, performers and more than 2,000 young people from community groups, and ends with Santa's arrival. It's free to watch from anywhere along the route; the all-inclusive VIP Hospitality & Grandstand area, with seating, food and drinks and live music before the parade, sells tickets separately once sales open. The start time and route aren't announced yet — last year the parade stepped off at 5 p.m.
