Life in Key West revolves around the water---so does Christmas!

The days are getting shorter and the breeze in the air means only one thing----it�s almost time for the Annual Schooner Wharf Bar & Galley Lighted Boat Parade.

The famous nautical parade is December 12th but the clock is ticking for entrants to conjure their best holiday ideas and start stringing lights on the rigging. December 11th will be the Captains Meeting.

Join the fun and enter your boat in this community marine event. Parade your vessel bedecked in beautiful lights and your festive holiday spirit. Vessels of all sizes � kayaks, dinghies, fishing vessels, sailing ships, private yachts and charter boats � are welcome.
