The 34th Annual Schooner Wharf Bar Lighted Boat Parade returns to Key West Harbor for a night of pure island magic. This beloved nautical holiday tradition transforms the seaport into a glowing wonderland of color, creativity, and community. Locals and visitors gather along the waterfront to enjoy one of Key West’s most anticipated seasonal events, where boats of all sizes shimmer beneath the tropical night sky.

The festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. along the Harbor Walk of Lights at the Key West Historic Seaport, featuring live island music, festive drinks, and performances by the “House of Pan” steel drum band. As the parade launches at 8:00 p.m., the harbor becomes a stage for dazzling LED displays, whimsical decorations, and imaginative holiday designs that capture the laid-back spirit of Key West.
