Villagers should be aware of traffic situation ahead of Christmas Parade at Polo Fields

The Villages Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8 at The Villages Polo Fields.  The gates will open at 10 a.m. for spectators and the parade will begin at noon. 

Golf carts should cross over Buena Vista Boulevard at the Southern Trace intersection instead of using the golf cart tunnel. Sumter County sheriff’s deputies will be on location to monitor and assist with traffic control. All vehicles will enter the complex through the north gates. 

Check out a video from last year’s Christmas Parade:

There may be some traffic congestion at the Polo Ridge postal station during the event.

A free shuttle service will be available beginning at 9:15 a.m. from Laurel Manor Recreation Center and Savannah Center. Bring your own chairs or blankets and be prepared to walk into the polo complex. Parking will be limited.

The parade is free and open to the public.

If you have any questions, call Lisa Parkyn at 753-1716.
