Boynton/Delray Holiday Boat Parade

Boynton Beach Inlet, Boynton Beach FL
Start of Parade  6:30pm

Tonight we went to the 42nd annual Boynton/Delray Holiday Boat Parade--a truly unique annual holiday event.  A stream of more than a dozen boats of all sizes, strung up and decked out in bright and festive holiday lights and decor, all traveling from the Boynton Beach Inlet to the C-15 Canal in DelrayBeach.
We brought Brewster and watched the hour-long parade from the end of Promenade Park in Boynton Beach for prime viewing close to the Marina.  (Tip: if your dog is sensitive to sounds--you may want to leave 'em at home, or make sure you hold on to them tight--Brewster wasn't the happiest when some of the boats' horns sounded!)
So many different types of watercraft came floating down the canal--large boats lined with elegant twinkling white lights, crazy multi-colored lights, tiny little decorated boats.  One boat came floating down the canal with their passengers rocking out to Gangnam Style.  Definitely a fun little experience!

Happy Holidays!
