Winterfest Boat Parade
Fort Lauderdale Tradition Since 1970
The Winterfest Boat Parade is an annual tradition that has been held every December in Fort Lauderdale since 1970. In recent years the event has been sponsored by the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
This year on December 14, hundreds of boats from 20 feet long to huge megayachts will dress up in all kinds of lights and decorations and cruise along the New River and Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. Every Floridian should see this show at least once.
