Schooner Wharf Annual Lighted Boat Parade
Celebrate the holidays in Key West style at the 33rd Annual Schooner Wharf Bar/Absolut Vodka Lighted Boat Parade on December 14th at 8 p.m.! This tropical celebration transforms the Key West Bight and Harbor into a vibrant display of holiday spirit, where locals and visitors come together like one big family. The fun starts at 6 p.m. with festive music along the Harbor Walk, featuring the Caribbean-inspired sounds of the "House of Pan" steel band.
At 8 p.m., the parade sets sail, showcasing a fleet of creatively decorated vessels, from lit-up kayaks to majestic schooners, decorated with Key West-inspired designs like palm trees, sea creatures, and even the Grinch. Watch as Santa’s sleigh glides by, and enjoy seasonal treats like eggnog, hot apple jack, and a traditional ham dinner at Schooner Wharf Bar. Kids will love catching candy and beads, while everyone will marvel at the twinkling lights and artistic displays. Under the starry sky, surrounded by festive cheer, this Key West tradition is the perfect way to say "Happy Holidays!"
