Led by a traveling Zambelli fireworks barge that shoots colorful bursts into the night sky along the route, dozens of illuminated boats compete for top holiday decor honors, featuring synchronized lights, holiday music, and costumed holiday crews. The parade also serves as a massive community toy drive benefiting Toys for Tots and Little Smiles; spectators can wave flashlights from docks and shoreside parks to have dedicated toy-collection vessels pull up to receive new, unwrapped toy donations. Prime free viewing spots with paved walkways and playgrounds include Juno Park and Harbourside Place in Jupiter, which hosts live holiday concerts, kids' face painting, and dining overlooking the water. ## Similar picks in Miami - [Lake Worth Beach Holiday Parade — A Sweet 60th Celebration in Candyland](https://grassyknees.com/miami/activities/lake-worth-beach-holiday-parade-a-sweet-60th-celebration-in-candyland--listing-cdbe485b3fb479fddba3d082) — Sat, Dec 5 · 6:00 PM · Downtown Lake Worth Beach · All ages · Free · checked Oct 16.
