Golf Cart Styling Ideas for Holiday Parades & Events on the Space Coast
One of the best parts about renting a golf cart on the Space Coast is how easy it is to turn it into the star of any holiday parade or local event. From Cocoa Beach to Melbourne and all across Brevard County, decorated golf carts are a fun, eye-catching way to celebrate the season while cruising in style.
Whether you’re joining a neighborhood parade, heading to a waterfront event, or just want to spread some festive cheer, here are some creative and safe ways to style your golf cart.
Start with a Theme
Choosing a clear theme makes decorating faster and more cohesive. Popular Space Coast favorites include:
-
Patriotic Red, White & Blue for Fourth of July parades
-
Beach Christmas with Santa hats, palm trees, and surfboard décor
-
Halloween Haunt with spider webs, pumpkins, and LED glow lights
-
Spring & Easter themes using pastel colors and floral accents
A simple theme helps your cart stand out without overdoing it.
Use Lights for Maximum Impact
LED string lights are one of the easiest ways to transform a golf cart, especially for evening events. Wrap lights around the roof supports, under the seats, or along the front and back rails. Battery-powered or rechargeable lights are best and help avoid tangled cords.
Pro tip: Soft white or warm-colored lights work great for Christmas events, while multicolor or neon lighting is perfect for summer festivals.
Add Safe, Secure Decorations
When decorating your golf cart, safety always comes first. Use zip ties, Velcro straps, or removable hooks to secure decorations so nothing falls off while driving. Avoid blocking mirrors, headlights, or brake lights, and keep all décor clear of pedals and steering.
Lightweight items like banners, tinsel, and foam decorations are ideal for moving carts.
Dress the Part
Matching outfits take your cart display to the next level. Santa hats, themed shirts, costumes, or color-coordinated clothing make your group look polished and parade-ready. For family events, matching outfits also make for great photos and memories.
Don’t Forget Music
A small Bluetooth speaker adds energy and fun to your decorated golf cart. Holiday music, patriotic songs, or family-friendly tunes help create a festive atmosphere without overpowering the event. Keep volume levels respectful, especially in residential areas.
Capture the Moment
Decorated golf carts are perfect for photos, especially with Brevard County’s scenic backdrops. Take pictures before the event and during the parade, and share them on social media to spread the fun and inspire others.
