We’re Not Just Another Lighted Boat Parade. Join Us and See What Makes a Punta Gorda Christmas so Special!
DIFFERENT BY DESIGN…
- Easy, simple to follow route with zero two way traffic, few turns and zero 180 degree turns!
- No worries from winds or tides. It’s Smooth Sailing as the entire 4 mile bridgeless parade is within protected waters of the PGI canal system.
- 4 miles of Cheering Crowds Only 50′ Away!
- Darkness not an issue: drop your boat off a day ahead and pick it up the day afterwards – Our neighborhood provides FREE dock space on a first come-first served basis.
- Commercial Free – no political or commercial entries
More Total Participation Than Any Christmas Boat Parade on the Entire Gulf Coast !
UP CLOSE & PERSONAL !
Eagerly Awaiting The Parade

It’s the most fun anyone can have on the Saturday Night Before Christmas Eve!
