Winterfest Boat Parade Tips

On December 10, 2016, boats will line up in the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale a parade up the intercoastal waterways. Boats of all sizes will adorn their decks with lights and decorations, blast holiday music, entertainment, and even some celebrity guests as the holiday season heating up the holidays in true South Florida style.
