Southwest Florida is set to sparkle with festive fun on the water this weekend with three holiday boat parades lighting up the night.
In St. James City, the Christmas Boat Parade kicks off at 6 p.m. near the Waterfront Restaurant. Boats will be covered in lights and decked out in holiday spirit.
The Naples Holiday Boat Parade will start around 6:15 p.m., cruising through Naples Bay. Spectators can enjoy the view from spots along the Riverwalk and local restaurants.
In Northwest Cape Coral, about 50 boats will set sail at 6:45 p.m., navigating through neighborhood canals. Organizers encourage neighbors to decorate their docks to help light the way.
All three parades are free to watch and offer a festive way to celebrate the holiday season.
