The 27^th Annual Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade wound up in Jupiter last night. The premier event of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and gift to the community took place last night. The 2021 "Merry and Bright" Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade kicked off the holiday season. The annual boat parade has always been a huge community event and last did not fail Jupiter residents! The boats were brilliantly decorated and did not cease to amaze onlookers!

Judging was based on three main factors: lights, enthusiasm, and themed decor. The theme this year was "Merry and Bright." There were thousands of dollars worth of prizes to be given away to the top three boats in each category! In addition to prizes, the Best of Parade boat will take home $500 cash, plus another $500 if they are a Boater Member. The Fan Favorite boat will also win $500 cash.

The grand finale took place at the Jupiter Lighthouse courtesy of Jetty's, Square Grouper, and U-Tiki. Participants were asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy. Toys will benefit the annual toy drive for Toys for Tots and Little Smiles.
