Fort Lauderdale Boat Parade
The Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade is Fort Lauderdale’s annual holiday boat parade. Decorated boats leave downtown on the New River, head east to the Intracoastal Waterway and then north to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach, a route organizers put at about 12 miles.
Organizers list the 55th annual parade for Saturday, December 12, 2026, starting at 6 p.m. There’s a ticketed public viewing area at Las Olas Intracoastal Promenade Park. Check the official site for final times.
