Boat parades are a waterway event with illuminated boats. Some of the well known water parades include locations such as Walt Disney World, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade,[1] and Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale's annual parade in December is titled the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.[2] This signature event hosts 100 decorated vessels traveling east to the Intracoastal waterway and heading north to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach.
Sports teams in Tampa, Florida traditionally have a boat parade down the Hillsborough River when they win a championship rather than a victory parade through the streets of the city like in most other places.[3]
