The Destin Boat Parade will illuminate the Harbor with holiday lights and cheer on Sunday, December 15, starting at 6 PM at Harbor Docks. Decorated boats will sail past local restaurants and docks, concluding at HarborWalk Village. All commercial, charter, and private vessels are invited to participate and light up the Harbor.
Registration is just $25 through the Destin History & Fishing Museum, with a captain’s meeting at The Edge before the parade.
At HarborWalk Village, enjoy live music, holiday vendors, and events hosted by HarborWalk Village. Judging will take place at The Edge Seafood & Skybar, which is also hosting a VIP Watch Party for $50, benefiting the Destin History & Fishing Museum.
