The 2020 Lighted Boat Parade will be led by Chase-n-Fins and will set sail from Sabine Marina in Little Sabine Bay at 6:30 p.m. do a loop and will wind its way around the Santa Rosa Sound/ Boardwalk area and then will circle back. Spectators can watch the parade from Little Sabine or the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk and any of the businesses along the route.

This year, due to COVID-19 crowd restrictions and Hurricane Sally damage to the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk pier, the parade will be modified from years’ past.

“It’s been an unprecedented year, so we hope to spread some holiday cheer along the island this season and invite the public to enjoy the annual light spectacle along the water,” said Patty Spradling, Executive Director the Chamber.

After the parade a dazzling firework display will take place along the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk at 8 p.m!!

Boats of all sizes, shapes, and colors are invited 

to enter the parade and compete in the boat decorating contest!. 

Line Up: 5 p.m. Sabine Marina
