Clermont’s  Annual Lighted Boat Parade will illuminate the waterfront on Saturday, December 6, beginning at dusk. Boats will gather near Cypress Cove Marina Resort & The Cove Bar, then make a counter-clockwise loop around Lake Minnehaha before continuing into Lake Minneola, passing in front of Victory Point, Waterfront Park, and the Lake Minneola Inn–Tiki Bar & Grill. Spectators along the shoreline will enjoy an unforgettable display of twinkling lights reflecting off the water.

Boaters participating in the parade are encouraged to bring a new toy to Santa’s boat—the lead vessel marked by a yellow flashing light—to receive an official boat number and be entered into the decorating competition. Santa’s team will also provide a map and the locations of judging docks. All toys collected will be delivered to Santa’s Shack to support the Christmas Across South Lake distribution. Let’s aim to fill the boats—and hearts—with holiday joy!

Those interested in sponsoring the event or donating gift certificates, services or prizes to support the best-decorated boat or Christmas for Kids may contact Mendy at 407-383-7213.

Join your neighbors on the water or on the shore as Clermont kicks off a festive  holiday tradition!
