Florida By Water released its 2012 Holiday Boat Parade guide, which lists more than 70 parades throughout the Sunshine State, starting with the Nov. 17 event in Orlando and continuing through Dec. 23rd in the Pinellas County community of Redington Beach.
Throughout Florida, boat parades take on a life of their own, from small town parades full of Southern charm to high end productions that would make Disney proud. The majority of the parades this year will be held on Dec. 8, with Dec. 15 running a close second.
