BOYNTON BEACH, FL — The 53rd annual Boynton Beach Holiday Boat Parade will take to the Intracoastal Waterway on Friday, Dec. 12, with a 6 p.m. start expected to draw hundreds of spectators along the shoreline.
The flotilla will gather near the Ocean Avenue Bridge in Lantana (near Old Key Lime House) around 6:30 p.m. before heading south toward the C-15 Canal in Delray Beach. Organizers expect a mix of private boats and community entrants decorated with holiday lights and inflatables.
Spectators along the route can contribute to Toys for Tots by waving a flashlight to signal participating vessels. Several Boynton Beach waterfront restaurants and parks will offer clear views, but Boynton Harbor Marina remains one of the most popular spots to watch the procession. Santa is scheduled to make an appearance at the marina, and local band Making Faces is set to perform.
Bridge closures will take place temporarily as the parade moves south, including Ocean Avenue, Woolbright Road, George Bush Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue and Linton Boulevard.
