About

The Anna Maria Island Privateers' Christmas parade has run for about a decade. The 2025 parade, set for the morning of Saturday, December 13, was cancelled when fewer than 10 entries applied, and the 2024 parade was cancelled because of storm damage, WWSB reported.

At the time, WWSB reported that plans for a 2026 parade were up in the air, and that the children's party planned for after the 2025 parade, at City Field in Holmes Beach, would still take place.

We will list this year's date here if the Privateers announce one.

Plan a December week

Until AMI Privateers Christmas Parade 2026 is announced we cannot match it to a week. These are the cottage's next open weeks, straight from the live calendar.

  • Every stay is at least 7 nights. The checkout shows the itemised total before you pay.
  • Online bookings in some weeks need a Saturday check-in; check-out can be any day, as long as the stay is at least 7 nights. For another arrival day, call the office at 941-778-1979.
  • Pool heat is added to online bookings by default ($150 for a one-week stay; the office adjusts it for longer stays). You can decline it - just ask the office.
  • Bringing your dog (one dog up to 35 lb)? The $150 per week pet fee is charged at booking.
