Patch Minute: Where to Watch Holiday Boat Parades

We have the scoop on where to go to watch lighted boat parades in South Pinellas County. From Gulfport to Madeira Beach and St. Pete, we'll fill you in on what to know before you go.

Welcome to this week's Patch Minute! It's that time of year, Christmas in Florida! That means sandcastles and sandmen at the beaches. It also means holiday shopping in flip flops instead of snow boots for many. It wouldn't be a "Florida" Christmas without a night out to watch the boat parade. While there are plenty of boat parades to choose from, if you stop by Madeira Beach, you can be in the parade by booking a seat on one of two boats at Hubbard's Marina.
