2024 Theme
“From Sawgrass to Seagrass: Waves of Holiday Cheer”
Saturday, December 14, 2024
CELEBRATE the 53rd Annual Parade with the theme: From Sawgrass to Seagrass: Waves of Holiday Cheer
Winterfest is encouraging boaters to show how they holiday in December with a nod to the beauty of this area. From beaches to waterways, parks to Everglades, Floridians love to host an image or two reflecting this tropical environment with their decorations. After all, we would rather have sand in our flip-flops than snow in our boots.
Boaters, with a little imagination, you can decorate “ol’ school” with holiday images (just no Santa).
