The first-annual Christmas Boat Parade in the northwest Cape will be held on December 18 with more than 20 boats participating in this family-friendly event.
The boats will be decked out with holiday decorations and the theme for this first year is Dr. Seuss’ “The Grinch”.
Cape Coral resident Dean Fox organized this event in the hopes of bringing a long-time tradition with him from his hometown of Chicago. According to Cape Coral Breeze, Fox said, “It’s a huge event there, and it’s just a lot of fun, so I thought we’d try it out here.”
“Those who watch the vessels along their nearly 3-hour convoy will be treated to all of the timeless characters from the classic book and movie while music plays. The Grinch himself will be in his sleigh pulled by his trusty K-9 Max. Don’t forget about Cindy-Lou Who, the Mayor of Whoville, and many other familiar faces,” explains Cape Coral Breeze.
The parade will begin at 6 PM just south of the Bonefish Canal. “Boats will travel east down the Bonefish Canal, turn at the end and head west back to Spreader Waterway. From there they will head north to Wazee Lake, east down the Hermosa Canal,and back west towards Wazee Lake and along the shoreline west to Spreader. Lastly, they will follow Spreader north to Horseshoe Canal, head east, turn around at the end and head back west to Spreader where the parade will end,” states Cape Coral Breeze.
