POMPANO BEACH, FL --  Live on the Intracoastal? Decorate your home or condo (buildings too!)by December 6 for a chance to win prizes during the 51st Annual Greater Pompano Beach Boat Parade Shore Decorating contest. Each year, this annual parade winds along the Intracoastal from Pompano Beach north to Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach and part of the fun is the decorated homes along the way. The parade is December 8, starting at 6:00 p.m. but shoreline judging is Friday, December 6. Join the fun by decorating your home. Call 954-941-2940 to enter or for more details.

Attendees are also invited to have fun riding on the lead boat, the Musette for $55, which includes buffet dinner, open bar, music and dancing. You will be at the head of the parade and get to see all the homes and people, then when the parade turns around, guests on the Musette will get to see all of the boats.
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.
