Viewing Locations
Residents and visitors will be meeting along the Skull Creek waterfront to witness the sparkling display of lighted boats. Enjoy the festivities from popular gathering spots, restaurants, or from your own private balcony/home. Have your cameras handy to get a close-up view of each boat's holiday decorations & crew.
​
The parade begins at 6:00.
The entire boat parade is approximately 75 minutes long.
Times shown below are when the LEAD BOAT is anticipated to pass each location -
on the first pass (moving from north to south) and then on the return pass. So, most locations will have two opportunities to see the parade!

Each of these great waterfront restaurants will provide an ideal location for enjoying the parade:

Skull Creek Boathouse
