Palm Coast celebrated the 41st annual Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade's on Dec. 15.
Palm Coast had a weekend of holiday-themed events from Dec. 13-15, culminating with the Palm Coast Yacht Club's annual holiday boat parade. Residents were able to view the parade for free either as it meandered up and down the Intracoastal Waterway either live from several city parks and locations or through a live by Flagler Broadcasting on KOOL-FM, 100.9
The 2024 parade was held in honor of Sheriff’s Office Dispatcher Megan Burton, who was named Florida Sheriff Association Dispatcher of the Year. Burton served as the parade's grand marshal.
"As always, Palm Coast boaters threw in their all to make this a special event for the city," Parade Chairperson Sarah Ulis wrote in an email to the Observer.
Ulis wrote that several events coincided so that number of participants was down from the 2023 parade, which had 108 registered participants, with even more boaters joining in last minute and unregistered. This year, the parade was on a Sunday, she wrote, so most people had work or school the next, and there was big game on that night.
"But by all accounts, it still impressed and we continue to be proud of this wonderful parade," Ulis wrote over email. "I have established that the 2025 parade will be held on Saturday, December 13 and the mayor is supporting that. Thank you Palm Coast."
