Date: December 12, 2025
Time: 6 PM
Location: Intracoastal Waterway
Join us for the Holiday Boat Parade beginning at 6:30 PM on December 12th along the Delray Beach Intracoastal. The event will feature a variety of festively decorated boats. This year, the event is being held in partnership with the Town of Hypoluxo, the Town of Lantana, the City of Boynton Beach, and the City of Delray Beach.
Each year, a combination of privately owned and commercial vessels decked out with dazzling lights, holiday décor, and costumed captains compete in the modest, yet wildly popular boat parade.
Parade Route
At 6:30 PM, the parade will form at the Ocean Avenue Bridge in Lantana (near Old Key Lime House) and travel south to the C-15 Canal in Delray Beach (south of Linton Boulevard).
