Ho-Ho! Join us downtown Tampa for the Best Christmas Boat Parade on the river.

The Tampa Boat Parade starts at 6:15 PM. I am planning on standing around the Riverwalk near Channelside and Sparkmans Wharf. (The City does NOT allow any chairs to be placed along the River walk) Exact location will depend on how early I can get down there.

• Last year they had 300+ boats.
• Tampa’s largest lighted boat parade will happen the Saturday before Christmas along the Hillsborough River Downtown Tampa. The parade begins at the southern tip of Davis Islands, travels through the Convention Center basin and up to the Heights where the boats will turn around and head to Sparkman Wharf where judging will occur and the parade will end.

Parking: The ParkMoble APP is very easy and helpful when parking downtown. You can also search for the best parking garage via this link:
Parking - Tampa Downtown Partnership You can also car pool and or uber in & out if you would like?

Dinner: I have reservations at The Pearl for 4:00 PM for a group of 10. Let me know if your interested in attending an early dinner. The plan is to get downtown early and find parking, eat, laugh and enjoy each other then walk across the way to the River walk.
