If you are looking for something unique, festive, and fun to do with your friends and family this Holiday Season, consider entering your boat in the Madeira Beach Lighted Boat Parade. On December 12th, the City of Madeira Beach will hold its 60th Annual Festival of Lights Boat Parade. The Parade is a ton of fun for all ages and really gets the holiday season into full swing. Last year, over 40 boats participated and brought festive cheer to tens of thousands of spectators.
The Parade will begin at 6:15 pm in front of American Legion Post #273. From there, we will head across the ICW to ROC Park in Madeira Beach, where they will be hosting a Merry Market with food, fun, games, and Santa! After that, the Parade will work its way South through all the finger canals in Madeira Beach, ending in John’s Pass. The Parade is free for everyone, and the top 10 boats will win over $5,000 in cash prizes. Other gift cards and a boat number raffle can win participants additional prizes!
If you don’t have a boat but still want to watch the Parade, you can go to ROC Park (6:30pm) or John’s Pass Boardwalk (approximately 9:00pm). If you can’t make it on the 12th.
To register for the 60th Annual Madeira Beach Boat Parade, come into the Ship Store at 503 150th Avenue, Madeira Beach, FL 33708. Or call 727-399-2631.
Happy Holidays,
