New Year’s Eve: Manzanita’s Wacko Midnight Parade. A little known secret about Manzanita’s New Year’s celebrations is its New Year Parade at midnight, which has been a surreal little local tradition that’s been happening for at least a few years. Generally, people just stagger out of the local bars and perform an oddball parade of sorts – proof again of the kooky and creative side to the fun-loving locals. Now, only the San Dune exists in Manzanita, but some may be coming from nearby The Wateringhole in Nehalem or Sea Shack in Wheeler. In previous years there was, among other things, a large dragon costume. In recent years the city has grudgingly given it’s okay for the parade, partially on the basis it would happen with or without the permit.
