Who doesn’t enjoy a fun and exciting Christmas parade? The sounds and the sights all come together to help kick off the holiday season. Here in Panama City, Florida we have several different parades and one of the most popular is the annual Boat Parade of Lights which will be Saturday December 12. This nautical tradition has been running for 49 years and has no intentions of slowing down. This year the Boat Parade will include both the Panama City Marina as well as the St. Andrews Marina. Both marinas will have food and beverage vendors, easy listening Christmas music, activities for kids and retail merchants for any Christmas shopping. Don’t miss this exciting beach tradition in historic downtown Panama City and St. Andrews.
