Grab your family and jet off on a winter getaway towards paradise. Rock your favorite holiday colors and elf ears to these free, family-friendly events.
Typically starting at 6 pm, boats will parade along the respective canals in all their decorated glory. The lights will be shining brightly during this time, so make sure you find your favorite boat as many of these parades have contests for ‘best decoration.” Along with the boat parades, many of these cities offer additional entertainment near the event. Live Music with hot cocoa and art projects can keep the kiddos busy. We’ve also been told here at Travel Resort Services that the jolly man from the North Pole will be making appearances throughout the Gulf Coast. Kids will love getting to see Santa and his helpers.
These events are our local families enjoy, but it’s extra special for visitors and guests to get to experience. If you’re planning on traveling south anytime this winter, make sure it’s during the Lighted Boat Parades. You won’t want to miss the holiday flavors and flare, beautiful displays of lights, and the sounds of a happy holiday season. Jingle bells and all.
