About this adventure

The Miami Outboard Club Holiday Boat Parade is Miami's signature maritime holiday tradition, lighting up the waters of Biscayne Bay against the dramatic backdrop of the Downtown Miami and Brickell skylines. More than 50 colorfully illuminated boats, ranging from small center consoles to luxury cruising yachts, glide across the bay adorned with thousands of multicolored lights, dancing holiday characters, and booming holiday soundtracks. Spectators gather along the shoreline of Bayfront Park and Maurice A. Ferré Park, where families can enjoy free viewing, food trucks, holiday music, and a festive family lawn atmosphere. Little ones will be thrilled by the grand finale: a spectacular Zambelli fireworks display launched directly over the water, reflecting brilliantly against Biscayne Bay. Pack a lawn blanket and bring strollers to easily navigate the wide bayside promenade.
