The Town of Jupiter and the Marine Industry Association of Palm Beach County are once again teaming up to bring the Holiday Boat Parade north to the Jupiter Lighthouse!

The beautiful waterside Events Plaza along the Jupiter Riverwalk will host a FREE special parade viewing event, including food, music, and festivities. In addition to the Riverwalk Events plaza, the boat parade can be viewed from Sawfish Bay Park and Lighthouse Park. 

*Please note these additional viewing sites do not have public restroom facilities, food vendors or entertainment.

Bring your own chair, and enjoy the sounds of the season with holiday entertainment while you relax and watch the boats drift by in all of their holiday finery.  The Events Plaza is an official Toys for Tots collection location, so bring a new, unwrapped toy for this annual tradition of giving.

The Riverwalk Events Plaza is located at 25 South Coastal Way under the east span of the Indiantown Road Bridge in Jupiter.  From I-95, take Indiantown Road east to U.S. 1.  Take a right or left on U.S. 1.  Go about a block, turn west on Coastal Way.  Parking is available along Coastal Way and in the parking garage just south of the Indiantown Road Bridge.

Bridge Openings

Due to weather, winds, tides, and currents, we cannot predict the EXACT time bridges along the parade route will be going up and down. Here are our best estimates based on past parades.

• Donald Ross Road Bridge: Opens sometimes between 7:45 pm and 8:15 pm. Our permit allows for a 60-minute opening.
• Indiantown Road Bridge: Opens sometime between 8:30 pm and 9 pm. Our permit allows for a 60-minute opening.
• Jupiter Federal Highway Bridge: Opens sometime between 8:30 pm and 9 pm. Our permit allows for a 60-minute opening.

Please note the times above are approximate. The estimates are based on the fact that it takes approximately 39 minutes to get from Donald Ross Road to Indiantown Road at the posted parade speed, and then another 12 minutes to get to the Jupiter Federal Highway Bridge.  For specific parade questions please contact Marine Industries at 561-863-0012
