Celebrate the season and show your support for local heroes at the 63rd Annual CHAOS Holiday Boat Parade!

More than 50 beautifully decorated boats, sparkling with colorful lights, festive decorations, and lively music, will glide along the Intracoastal Waterway. As the boats pass by, they will dazzle thousands of spectators lining the shore, who will enjoy views of holiday-decorated homes, hotels, parks, and restaurants. It’s an evening filled with joy and holiday spirit as our community comes together to kick off the winter season. And don’t forget—Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus will be making a special appearance!
