Winter on the Water Santa Street & Boat Parade

This fun family event brings the magic of the holidays to the Mandeville Lakefront, featuring Mandeville's big annual Santa Street Parade, followed by a parade of boats bedecked for the season floating by on Lake Pontchartrain. Plus live entertainment, face painting, photos with Santa and the Grinch, and the lovely lighting of the oaks on the lakefront. Santa’s Walking Parade begins at 4 pm at Lakeshore Drive and Jackson Street, and ends at the gazebo. The boat parade follows on the lake at 5:30 pm. Free. louisiananorthshore.com.
