Here are some of my top picks!

 

Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade – One of our favorite yearly events takes place on Saturday, December 7, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what is in store for us this year! The parade begins at 6:00pm at the north end of the Lake Worth Lagoon and proceeds north on the Intracoastal Waterway to the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. Tens of thousands of spectators will come out to enjoy the procession of dozens of decorated vessels sparkling on the Intracoastal Waterway beneath a backdrop of traveling fireworks. There will be extended fireworks at Harbourside Place, plus a grand finale at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse. For more information, visit: http://www.palmbeachboatparade.com
