OKI Christmas by the Sea & Festival

Enjoy the annual Christmas by the Sea Parade and Festival in Oak Island, NC for a fun holiday experience! The variety of activities includes Santa visits, a costume contest, arts and crafts vendors, and food! 

The Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Town of Oak Island has organized the Christmas By The Sea parade for over 38 years.

The parade steps off at 2:00 PM beginning on East Oak Island Drive in front of Town Hall and making its way eastward, ending at McGlamery Street. As always, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be the final float at the end of the parade waving to children and the young at heart as they drive by.
