Surprise Pop-Up Entertainment
26th Annual Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade
Saturday, December 5, 2020.
The parade begins at 6 p.m. and arrives in Jupiter at approximately 8 p.m.
See boats decked with dancing lights, holiday adornments, and more than a few surprises as they make their way up the Intracoastal Waterway from the North Palm Beach Marina to Jupiter.
The Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade is also a water-based toy drive. A "toy fleet" of boats with amber beacons and/or Toys for Tots signs will pull right up along the parade route to pick up donations; just wave a flashlight to get their attention.
