VFW Post 10539’s Okeechobee Christmas Boat Parade brings boaters and spectators together for a community holiday celebration along Taylor Creek. The event begins with participating boats gathering near Burger King before traveling down the waterway toward VFW Post 10539.
Boaters decorate their vessels with lights and holiday displays for the Best Decorated Boat Contest, which is judged when the parade reaches the post. After the boats arrive, guests can enjoy food, raffles, entertainment, and family activities.
Participants are encouraged to bring a pot of chili to share, with chili served once all boats have completed the route. The parade is free to join and open to anyone interested in being part of the festivities. For details or to RSVP, attendees can contact the event organizer at the numbers provided.
