Palm Valley Holiday Boat Parade 2025
Be sure to mark your calendars for the annual Palm Valley Holiday Boat Parade! This beloved tradition was born from a simple idea in the Fall of 1993. And, has inspired a land-based decorating contest judged by volunteers on the water in addition to the boat parade.
When: Saturday, December 6, 2025 – 6:00pm-8:00pm
The parade starts 1 mile south of the Palm Valley Bridge and heads north to the last home in Marsh Landing.
View the decorated boats from docks, local restaurants, and noted public viewing areas along the 7 miles of Palm Valley’s Intracoastal Waterway. The up-close interaction makes it a truly unique experience. And, for those onboard the boats/vessels, they get to check out the decorations on land.
Great news! Food Trucks and Holiday Music along with Grandstands will be set-up under the East side of the Palm Valley Bridge. Additionally, there will be more restrooms and area lighting!
For your convenience, there will be Park & Ride Shuttles from Landrum Middle School.
