The spirit of Christmas is all around us and we feel very lucky to live in an area with such spectacular holiday sights and festivities. Along with Delray Beach's 100-foot Christmas tree in Old School Square, there will also be an incredible light show along the water, where a colorfully lit parade of boats will be on display this Friday, Dec. 12, 2014.
If you've never witnessed the parade, head out this year to see one of south Florida's best free holiday events. Pictures don't do it justice! Viewing areas are located at several points, including Intracoastal Park, Boyton Harbor Marina and other areas along the parade route, which runs from the Boynton Beach Inlet to the C-15 canal in Delray Beach.
Beginning at 5:30 p.m., there will be live entertainment and family friendly holiday activities. Plus, Santa will make an appearance at the event! Following this, the parade begins at 6:30 p.m. Decorative boats will cascade down the waterway, casting their lights in the ocean and making for a truly glittering light show unlike any other.
If you want to help spread Christmas joy, please bring along a new, unwrapped toy when you attend the event. Marines will be onsite at the Boyton Beach dock collecting donations for Toys for Tots.
