POMPANO BEACH, FL -- Celebrate an annual tradition in North Broward on Sunday, December 8 starting at 6 p.m. Thousands gather along the Intracoastal Waterway every year to celebrate this annual event that starts in Pompano Beach, runs through Lighthouse Point and Hillsboro Beach before ending at Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach. The parade is a favorite with residents and Captains alike.

“An event this large requires a lot of planning,” said Greater Pompano Beach Chamber president Ric Green.” We were fortunate last year to have Michele Greene and Dr. Brain Rask at the helm. We’re thrilled that they have once again agreed to chair this wonderful event.”
This year’s event is already larger than year’s past.

“For this year's boat parade we are expecting about 70 boaters, which is almost 20 more than last year,” said Dr. Brian Rask, co-chair.  “The great thing about the Pompano Beach Boat Parade is that it is free and open to all boaters. There are no requirements on the amount of lights you need on your boat and there is no theme that you have to follow.  It is all about having fun with family and friends over the holidays.”

The Pompano Beach Boat Parade is the only free parade that has great Captain's and Awards parties, gives out cash awards, gift cards and many great prizes, provides a lot of recognition for its sponsors, and supports local charities.
