30th Annual Schooner Wharf Bar Lighted Boat Parade Set to Dazzle 

Festively illuminated watercraft both large and small will display their holiday dazzle on Saturday December 11 during the 30th annual Schooner Wharf Bar Lighted Boat Parade. The boats begin parading at 8:00 p.m., but plan to arrive at the Key West Bight Marina at the Historic Seaport early in order to stroll through the magical beauty of the Key West Harbor Walk of Lights with its array of shops, restaurants and watering-holes, charmingly decorated for the holidays and to catch the Bahama Village Music Program “House of Pan” steel band as they perform on the Schooner Wharf stage, beginning at 6:00pm.

The lighted boat parade is one of multiple events that take place during the annual Key West Holiday Fest, an island-wide celebration that runs through New Year’s Eve. Presented by Berkshire Hathaway Keys Real Estate, Opal Key Resort & Marina, Old Town Trolley Tours and Conch Tour Train, Shops at Mallory Square, The Lodging Association of the Florida Keys and Key West, and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council; for links to all Key West Holiday Fest events, visit www.KeyWestHolidayFest.com.
