Riviera Bay Christmas Boat Parade - Let’s Light Up the Bay!

After more than 25 years on Christmas Eve, neighbors voted to move the Riviera Bay Christmas Boat Parade to a new date - this year the Boat Parade will be the Saturday before Christmas! This change makes it easier for more families and boaters to participate, and we’re expecting a fantastic turnout.

Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate one of Riviera Bay’s favorite traditions - now bigger and brighter than ever!

Capt. Lance Obst, who has proudly led the parade for more than 25 years, is once again at the helm. Tune to channel 69 for parade communication updates.

Meet at the canal near Sun Lit Cove Boat Ramp at 6:15 PM. Parade starts at 6:30 PM.

Let’s show all of St. Pete where the best decorated boats are from!

You could win the $100 top prize courtesy of your neighbor, Brad Bess!
