Suncoast Charities for Children and Marina Jack stage this bayfront parade of decorated boats on Sarasota Bay each December. Judges score private and corporate entries in two size classes, and onlookers gather at Bayfront Park and Marina Jack. The event raises money for local special-needs charities and collects toys and books.
