The City of Cape Coral is hosting its annual Holiday Boat-A-Long and Christmas Movie Saturday, December 20, from 4 to 9 p.m.
This free, family-friendly event will take place at Four Freedoms Park, 4818 Tarpon Court, and will feature stage entertainment, local food trucks, crafts, and a visit from Santa Claus. The boat parade will begin at 7 p.m., and Ernest Saves Christmas will be played on a giant inflatable screen immediately following the parade. Be sure to bring your lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the festivities!
You can also watch as the boats line up in Bimini Basin for the parade, which first passes by the park’s beach before heading down various canals in South Cape Coral. Those interested in participating in the parade with their boat should register by calling Sea Tow at (239) 945-4820. For more information, visit the Special Events webpage.
