A dazzling holiday tradition returns! Clearwater Yacht Club is proud to host the 52nd Annual Holiday Lighted Boat Parade on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 6:30 PM. This spectacular procession of illuminated vessels has become a cornerstone of Clearwater’s festive season, drawing families, boaters, and visitors from across the region.

More than just a celebration of maritime spirit, the parade supports youth sailing scholarships at the Clearwater Community Sailing Center, benefiting children from the Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been raised to help local youth experience the joy and benefits of sailing, and we hope to make an even greater impact this year.

There are many ways to support the parade. Consider becoming a sponsor and taking advantage of the recognition and benefits included with each sponsorship level. Any donation, large or small, also makes a difference and helps us continue supporting local youth. Every contribution brings us one step closer to making this year’s parade a success.
