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. ## Similar picks in Miami - [Holiday Boat Parade on Lake Wellington](https://grassyknees.com/miami/activities/holiday-boat-parade-on-lake-wellington--listing-8abce6ee15cea6a231a1bbba) — Sat, Dec 12 · 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM · Town Center Promenade, Wellington · All ages · Free · checked Oct 16.
