Jacksonville Light Boat Parade

Experience the magic of the season at the Jacksonville Light Boat Parade! Watch as beautifully decorated boats glide along the St. Johns River, lighting up the night with dazzling displays. For more than 30 years, the Jacksonville Light Boat Parade has brought holiday magic to the St. Johns River and Downtown Jacksonville. Each year, boats of all shapes and sizes transform into dazzling displays of lights and festive décor as they cruise along the North and Southbanks. Spectators can gather along the Downtown Riverwalks to enjoy the illuminated procession before the evening concludes with a spectacular fireworks finale, including the signature waterfall fireworks cascading from the Main Street and Acosta Bridges. Participating vessels will be judged based on their overall appearance, creativity and composition of decorations. Judging Categories: Vessels Under 30′; Vessels 30′ and Over; Sailboat; and Corporate. Click here to visit the Jacksonville Light Boat Parade Facebook Page.
