Destin Boat Parade

The Destin Harbor will be dancing with holiday lights and cheer during the Destin Boat Parade on Sunday, December 15. The celebration begins at 6PM at Harbor Docks where boats festively decorated with holiday lights and décor line-up and begin floating past the various restaurants and docks that line the coast, ending at Harborwalk Village. All commercial, charter, and private boats are invited to help light up the Harbor with the true Destin spirit. 

Registration for the parade is just $25 through the Destin History & Fishing Museum. There will be a captain's meeting prior to the parade at The Edge.

HarborWalk Village events: Live music and holiday themed vendors and events sponsored by HarborWalk Village will add to the festive atmosphere.

Judging will take place at The Edge Seafood & Skybar. Skybar is again hosting the VIP Watch Party featuring champagne, passed hors d'oeuvres, front row seats with the judges and parade emcee, and live music by the Six Piece Suits. Tickets are $50 and proceeds go to benefit the Destin History & Fishing Museum. VIP access is 21+. Dinner reservations are also available at The Edge for family-friendly dining on the main level during the parade.

Onlookers can watch the boats light up the harbor from the shoreline, the harbor docks, HarborWalk Marina, or elevate their viewing experience at some of Destin’s most iconic waterfront bars and restaurants.
