33rd Annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade

Come enjoy some Christmas spirit at the 33rd Annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade! Last year we had over 30 boats participating and this year promises to be even more exciting. If you want to enter a boat please check back closer to the event date for an application. You can also call 239-454-7500 or email events@fmbchamber.com for more information.

The parade begins at Salty Sam’s Marina and will pass many restaurants on the back bay such as Parrot Key Caribbean Grill, Original Shrimp Dock, Matanzas on the Bay, Nervous Nellie’s, Bonita Bill’s, Dixie Fish Co. and Doc Ford’s where you can kick back and enjoy the fun. You will also be able to vote online for Best Decorated Boat.

Other spots to watch the parade are near the fountain next to Nervous Nellie’s and at the ends of the first two canals in Siesta Isles. Be sure to bring a chair if you go to Siesta Isles.

Another option is to enjoy the parade by water on the Salty Sam’s Pirate Cruise, Lagerhead Cycleboats or the Sight Sea-R Cruise.

It is also important to note that safety measures such as masks are required, and social distancing will be practiced.

This event is brought to you by the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce.
