Venice Florida Christmas Boat Parade of Lights Dec 7 2024

'Christmas in Venice... the lights, the palm trees, the waterways. Celebrate the holiday season by decorating your boat & joining in the fun!! There is no better way to start the Christmas Season than by participating in the Venice Christmas Boat Parade of Lights.'
'History - In 1989 Jim Hussmann and a couple of others formed a committee and started the Venice Christmas Boat Parade. They overcame a lot of obstacles but on the 1st Saturday in December, 41 boats decorated in holiday theme completed the parade route, and for 31 years the parade had remained an annual event, until 2020.
THE PARADE IS BACK and under the direction of our new president, Joe Zgrzepski, the board & committee volunteers, our goal is to make this parade the most viewed and talked about holiday show in Southwest Florida. If you have a boat join us. It doesn't matter if this is your first parade or a continuing participant, nor does it matter how large or how small your boat is or how many decorations you place, ALL ARE INVITED'

Venice is a city in Sarasota County, FL. 70 Miles south of Tampa.
The city includes what locals call "Venice Island", a portion of the mainland that is accessed via bridges over the artificially created Intracoastal Waterway that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Railroad Union designed in the 1920’s to create a destination city on the Florida West Coast.
