Pine Island Community Christmas Boat Parade Saturday
The Pine Island Community Christmas Boat Parade will be held Saturday, Dec. 11, in St. James City, starting at 6 p.m.
All community members, boat clubs, organizations and businesses are invited to participate. Please note, you must register to participate.
The parade route for 2021 is the same route used last year.
It is important to note the parade will stage and start north of the Waterfront Restaurant and Marina on the Henley Canal. The parade will proceed up Cherry Estates Canal and into the canal that runs east and west between North Royal Palm Drive and Trailer Park Drive, but will not pass north of this canal. The parade will continue down the Monroe Canal and end just before where the channel narrows north of the Low Key Tiki.
It is important for those who have historically viewed the parade from the Waterfront Restaurant and Marina later in the evening to arrive before the parade start at 6 p.m.
The boat line up begins at 5 p.m. on the Henley Canal in the staging area north of the Waterfront Restaurant and Marina.
Should the parade be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances, the parade will be rescheduled for Sunday, Dec. 12, at 6 p.m.
It is time to catch the Pine Island Christmas Spirit and enter a boat in the parade. To enter a boat in the parade or to obtain more information, please contact Peter Karas Karascon@AOL.com.
