Boat Anchoring Information:

For those spectators lucky enough to view the Seminole Hard Rock Boat Parade from their own boat. The Northern sector of the parade route including the western portion of Lake Santa Barbara is an excellent location. Call Winterfest regarding being a "Control Boat" in the parade.

No Anchor Zones:

Birch State Park- North side of Sunrise Boulevard Bridge are NO ANCHOR ZONES. We will be working with many law enforcement agencies and will also provide "control boats" (civilian boaters that have attended safety training and information seminars regarding the parade). Make sure you are anchored by 4:00 pm as the Intracoastal Waterway will close to all boat traffic at 4:30. Click to the Sun-Sentinel for a map of the parade route and anchoring information.
