Save the date for the St. Lucie County Christmas Boat Parade
The St. Lucie County Christmas Boat Parade welcomes all Treasure Coast and visiting boaters to ‘light ‘em up’ for this much-anticipated annual holiday tradition on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 6 p.m. Any Treasure Coast boaters looking to participate in the 2023 St. Lucie County Christmas Boat Parade can go to www.miatc.com/christmas-boat-parades to register. Registration is open and free.
One important thing to know is that there is a brand new parade route for the 2023 parade. Boats will meet at the Red Day Beacon 188 off FP City Marina; head north under the South Bridge; travel East down the channel toward Jetty Park; turn 180 degrees in front of the Square Grouper Tiki Bar; travel Westward back down the Inlet; parades ends when the last boat reaches the Turning Basin, north of the Fort Pierce South Causeway Bridge. A new route map will be distributed closer to the parade date. Boats are expected to form a line behind a lead patrol boat and operate at no wake speed throughout the duration of the event. Boats must also complete the parade route to be eligible for a prize. Of course, it’s also helpful to note that the route may change due to weather conditions, as the safety of our participants is our priority.
If you’re watching from dry land, the best St. Lucie County Christmas Boat Parade viewing sites are at the public beaches and public walkways along Seaway Drive and the restaurants facing the Inlet along Seaway Drive. The parade will begin in front of the Fort Pierce Yacht Club and the FP City Marina in the ICW channel but will be further from shore at this location.
