Nauti-or-Nice? SWFL Holiday Boat Parades!

Temperatures are chilling throughout most of the U.S. But here in Southwest Florida, the weather is perfect for spreading holiday cheer! 

We’re not talking about your average holiday-themed office events or freezing cold parades along city streets. Our holidays have a tropical twist, of course! For example, have you attended one of our annual holiday boat parades?

It started with just one or two boat parades each year. Now, just about every city here in SWFL has its own holiday boat parade! Check out the list of this year’s parades below.
