Mark Your Calendars

We’d like to thank all who participate from Dana Shores, Pelican Island, The Cove and neighboring communities by boat, on land, and behind the scenes for the great turnout year after year. Your creative decorations, festive parties, and organizational efforts bring joy to many. Special thanks is owed to our sponsors and congratulations go to our annual contest winners.

We are looking forward to getting back out on the water this year and bringing home some holiday joy to our neighborhood!

• On the evening of the parade, boats will line up in the basin in front of the Westin and Bahama Breeze between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. After one warm-up lap, they will head east to the canal between Doral Dr and the airport property, travel through Dana Shores, and then up to and around portions of Pelican Island.
