Destin Boat Parade

Celebrate the season with a Destin tradition that's been spreading holiday joy for over 30 years! The 38th Annual Holiday Boat Parade lights up Destin Harbor on Sunday, December 15th, starting at 6 PM. Watch as boats adorned with festive lights and decorations glide gracefully down the harbor, bringing smiles and cheer to everyone along the way.

The parade kicks off near Boshamps Restaurant, with beautifully decorated boats cruising past AJs, HarborWalk Village, and heading towards the Destin Bridge and Norriego Point. The evening culminates with a dazzling fireworks display over the harbor, followed by an energetic fire spinning performance by Autumn Lyfe on the Main Stage. Join us for a night of holiday magic and community celebration!
