The Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade Will Light Up The Night

Come enjoy some Christmas spirit at the 31st Annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade!  Last year we had over 30 boats participating and this year promises to be even more exciting.

The parade begins at Salty Sam’s Marina and will pass many restaurants on the back bay such as Parrot Key Caribbean Grill, Original Shrimp Dock, Matanzas on the Bay, Nervous Nellie’s, Bonita Bill’s, Dixie Fish Co. and Doc Ford’s where you can kick back and enjoy the fun.

Other spots to watch the parade are the fountain next to Nervous Nellie’s and the ends of the first two canals in Siesta Isles. Be sure to bring a chair if you go to Siesta Isles.

You can also view the parade on a cruise with Sea Racer Tours or the Salty Sam’s Pirate Cruise.
