YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A TOY AT MARKHAM PARK BEFORE ENTERING THE EVENT. KAY-BEE TOYS WILL HAVE A TRUCK WITH TOYS DISPLAYED AT THE ENTRY GATE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO PURCHASE A TOY AND NOT HAVE TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL $10 FEE. THESE TOYS WILL BE PRICED AT AN AVERAGE OF $10 EACH. THANK YOU!

Pompano Harness Track is located on Powerline Rd. between Atlantic Blvd. and Cypress Creek Rd. The parade starts lining up at the racetrack at 7am. The bikes will begin pulling out at 9:45am. The parade will proceed to Atlantic Blvd. East to I-95 South to I-595 West. Exit at 136th & SR84 - proceed to park. Please be advised that traffic will be diverted on these roads while the parade is in progress (approximately 3.5 hours).

If you do not want to participate in the motorcycle parade, or are coming by vehicle, we suggest you get to the park before 10am. The roads will be closed for the parade from 10am until approximately 1pm. The park opens at 8am and the live entertainment begins at 11am. Again, event cost is $10 and one unwrapped toy per person or $20 without a toy.

Also, the Markham Park will be charging an additional $1.50 per person park entry fee at the main gate. Unfortunately this is beyond our control. It has nothing to do with the entry into the SFPC Christmas Toys in the Sun Run. We do apologize for any inconvenience. See all details: http://www.toysinthesunrun.com/general_info.htm
