Join the Parade for ALL Boaters:

It's been Eleven years since we started our Annual Holiday Boat Parade tradition. Join us this year in making our 11th Annual Parade the best one yet!!

We start at Lowry Park, at the Boat Ramp. Please have your boat in the water no later than 6:00 p.m. We expect many boats, so come early.

Join the fun and be a part of the 11th Annual Hillsborough River Holiday Boat Parade. A celebration of living in a city on a tropical river, the Holiday Boat Parade is a community event organized by Friends of the River for everyone to be a part of.

Whether you have a power boat, canoe, kayak, jon boat - anything that floats - decorate your boat and join the fun.

If you don't know anyone with a boat, you can watch the parade from the river bank along Lowry Park up to its terminus at the Harbor Club at Nebraska Ave. The Sulphur Springs park between I-275 & the city pool park has a nice long shoreline with plenty of convenient parking.
