Anna Maria Island Privateers Holiday Boat Parade

Each December the waters around Anna Maria Island light up for the annual holiday boat parade, a cherished coastal tradition. Boaters deck their vessels in holiday lights and decorations and cruise the intracoastal waterway while spectators gather along the shore, docks, and waterfront restaurants to watch the glowing procession. The parade captures the island's festive spirit and is completely free to enjoy from public viewing spots. Bring a jacket, a warm drink, and a beach chair, and settle in for one of the prettiest nights of the season on the water. From The Sandbox Beach House in Holmes Beach you are close to several waterfront viewing areas, making it easy to catch the lights and then head home to your private pool and pet friendly retreat.
