Tampa’s largest lighted boat parade will happen on Saturday, December 21, along the Hillsborough River in Downtown Tampa.


The parade begins at the southern tip of Davis Islands, travels through the Convention Center basin and up to the Heights where the boats will turn around and head to Sparkman Wharf where judging will occur and the parade will end, with all registered boats receiving prizes!


Thousands of residents and visitors are expected to amass along the Riverwalk to watch the spectacular holiday boat parade featuring a flotilla of brightly lit and decorated boats.




Approximately 125 decorated boats, large and small are expected on the 7.5-mile route, with thousands lining the route for a glimpse of the holiday spectacular.
