Seafarers and landlubbers of all ages are sure to be dazzled by the area’s largest lighted boat parade.
Holiday Fireworks Spectacular
Following the 2009 boat parade, fireworks were shot from river barges in front of The Jacksonville Landing, Hyatt Regency Hotel and Metropolitan Park. The signature “waterfall” fireworks will be shot from both sides of the Main Street Bridge and the east side of the Acosta Bridge.
Viewing the parade
Each year, the parade can be seen from both the northbank and southbank of the downtown riverfront. Families are encouraged to bring their chairs, blankets and picnics to the riverfront for this magical evening!
Annoucements of parading boats, themes and holiday messages will be broadcast along the northbank and southbank of the riverfront.
