2017 Largo Holiday Stroll Set To Light Up The Night

LARGO, FL – Even though it may not feel like a picture postcard winter scene, area residents once again will be able to walk through a winter wonderland in downtown Largo.

The 2017 Largo Annual Holiday Stroll is set to take place over two Saturday evenings in December in Largo’s Central Park, 101 Central Park Drive. The park will be festooned with more than 2 million LED lights for the events.

Also returning for the holiday season will be a carousel and a seven-story Ferris wheel, which will provide a birds-eye view of the holiday lights. Rides on the carousel and Ferris wheel cost $5. The holiday lights, Ferris wheel and the carousel will run nightly from Thursday, Nov. 23 through Monday, Jan. 1.

Concessions, crafts and activities will take place during the two Largo Holiday Stroll dates, which will take place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The themes for the two dates are:

Saturday, Dec. 2 – “Rockin Lights – Family Night”

Chalk artists will draw works of art from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Santa Claus will be the guest of honor at the event, which will feature a holiday craft fair and live entertainment. Largo’s official holiday tree lighting will take place at 7 p.m. in the middle of Central Park.

Saturday, Dec. 16 – “Let It Snow”

Children’s snow rides will be available for $5. Lighted motorcycles will join the party around 7:45 p.m. Santa will make a second appearance, while a holiday craft fair and live music will also take place.
