The 37th Annual Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce Christmas Boat Parade will be held Saturday, December 6th at 6PM.
This year’s parade sets sail from Salty Sam’s Marina and cruises through Estero Bay. Boats will gather in front of Salty Sam’s Marina at 5:30 PM, with the parade kicking off promptly at 6:00 PM. The route travels northwest under the Matanzas Pass Bridge, past the Coast Guard station, through Estero Pass, and along Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina before looping back toward Matanzas Harbor.
This year, vessels will make a second loop through the back bay, giving everyone another chance to enjoy the glowing procession.
Parade Highlights
• Santa & Mrs. Claus lead the way aboard the first boat, spreading cheer across the waves.
• Boats will travel TWICE around the back bay area for more festive viewing opportunities.
• Live Music at Bayside Veterans Park
