The Christmas Lights Boat Parade

Saturday, December 12th was a perfect evening for the Christmas Boat Parade of Lights in Sarasota Bay. With balmy temperature and a mild breeze, it was comfortable for hundreds (thousands?) of people to gather on lawn chairs and picnic blankets on the grassy areas of Bayfront Park.


A few vendor tents offered appetizers and comfort food. The air was full of anticipation as everyone waited for the first bejeweled boats to come into view.
There were lots of oohs and aahs as the lead boats approached the marina.

We may not have snow in Sarasota, but we surely have beautiful light displays during the holiday season.
