Bill Baggs Boat Parade & Holiday Paddleboard Flotilla

You're not hallucinating: Santa and his elves just paddled by. Experience holiday lights Miami-style at No Name Harbor during this free community celebration as the decorated Key Biscayne Yacht Club boat parade glides by from 6 to 7:30pm, with a paddleboard flotilla launching from Boater’s Grill between 4 and 5pm. A beloved Key Biscayne tradition returns as paddlers and boaters dress up, loop the harbor and compete for prizes like Best Holiday Spirit, Most Creative, Best Pet Outfit and the new “Best Shiny Lighthouse,” while spectators watch from the waterfront with blankets and chairs as the sun sets over the bay. Snap pics with Santa, partake in festive arts and crafts and ogle a giant snow-globe—one of our favorite waterfront bars, The Cleat, will be open too.
