This traditional event introduces the holiday season and brings us into the holiday mood with a fun event filled with twinkling lights, children’s laughter, and Christmas carols. The dazzling boat parade will start at 6pm and span from Wayo’s Beachside Bar, Boca Del Rio to Caribbean Villas Hotel. Our community will have amazing views of the festive boats from all over town!Lighted Boat Parade 2012-3

This year all schools and youth groups are invited to participate in the Christmas carol recitals. A prize shall be awarded for the best youth choir.
