The Winterfest Celebration is very pleased to have the commitment of our corporate citizens to help expand the quality of the Boat Parade and the Celebration as a whole.

• In 2009, Winterfest is estimating 1 million cheering spectators (viewing from the new route, hotels, bridges, condominiums, Winterfest Celebration Central Grandstand Area, private homes and aboard approximately 1,500 water crafts- along the 12 miles of parade route). In 2010, the parade will be the kick-off for the city's Centenial.
• Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade is:
  • The largest, one-day spectator event in Florida
  • The seventh largest one-day spectator event in the country
• Demographics of infant to 100 years old.
• The parade encompasses the entire length of Fort Lauderdale, Florida in Broward County
  • Spectators can view the parade for free in public areas, purchase $21 pp grandstand tickets or enjoy the parade at a private party in their home or aboard a multi-million dollar yacht.
• The International Festival and Events Association has named Winterfest the top 20th Parade in the World; with over 50,000 parades in the United States alone, this is a huge international honor. This places Winterfest in the prestigious company of the Macy’s, Mardi Gras, Rose Bowl and Disney Parades.
• In May 2004, Reader's Digest listed this parade as one of 100 Best in America.
