10/07/2010 - 2010 Lighted Boat Parade

The not-to-be-missed highlight of the Christmas season in Key West is the 20th Annual Schooner Wharf Bar Lighted Boat Parade on Saturday, December 11th. Vessels of every size and shape deck their hulls and light up the night with their creativity and originality to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Santa Claus has been spotted at the helm, ditching his sleigh for a center console or sailboat with mistletoe hanging from the mast. His first mates have included gingerbread men and the Grinch. Other times, dolphins have replaced cold-weather reindeer, ushering in Santa and his sleigh packed with lighted presents.
Festivities start at 6 p.m. with the Gerald Adams Steel Your Heart Band, and the parade begins at 8 p.m. Boats will come into the Bight and pass in front of the judges' stand at Schooner Wharf. Live music all evening with yuletide favorites, plus a traditional ham dinner served from our galley. To register your boat or for more information, please call (305) 292-3302.
