Rather than dealing with icy roads, snow storms and frozen water pipes, take a trip down to Panama City this holiday season and enjoy a warm, magical Christmas celebration of a different kind! For over two decades, the Annual Boat Parade of Lights has been the must-see tradition for Florida residents and visitors alike.
Panama City boaters go to extreme lengths decorating their boats with lights, trees, sparkles and twinkles of holiday magic preparing for this extraordinary event and never fail to impress the crowd. Thousands of spectators flood the marinas and beaches to soak in the extraordinary sights of the floating lighted displays in the Annual Boat Parade of Lights. In years past, the Naval Coastal Systems Station base on the Beach has joined in this awesome tradition adding a sense of unbelievable awe to the Annual Boat Parade of Lights.
Join the entire city and try not to forget to breathe as the wonderful fleet of boats lights up the St. Andrews Bay with the Christmas spirit as they drift into the City Marina. You will be at a loss for words as the Annual Boat Parade of Lights slowly disperses and the air is tangibly thick with magic. Just imagine the looks on the faces of your children during the whole ordeal! The Annual Boat Parade of Lights will give you and the entire family a beautiful bonding experience to share and talk about for months, even years to come! If you are reluctant to be away from home on Christmas, relax!
The Annual Boat Parade of Lights takes place on December 12th which means you can be back home, have time to finish up your holiday shopping and enjoy your personal traditions without missing a beat!
