39th Annual Holiday on the Harbor Lighted Boat Parade

Disclaimer: We are promoting this event on behalf of a local chamber member. This event is not managed or sponsored by the Destin Chamber.

Get ready for one of Destin’s most magical nights of the year! Join us on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025, as boats of all sizes light up Destin Harbor with dazzling Christmas lights, creative themes, and tons of holiday spirit. The parade begins at 6 p.m., and winds its way through the harbor, ending with a spectacular fireworks show you won’t want to miss.

Bring the family, grab a cozy spot along the water, and celebrate a tradition that has brought our community together for nearly four decades. Whether you're watching from the docks, cheering from your favorite harbor restaurant, or participating with your own boat, this is a night that truly captures the magic of the season.

For the first time we are selling parade merchandise! Visit https://www.bonfire.com/store/holiday-on-the-harbor-boat-parade/.
