This is truly a must-see, don’t miss, get there however you can type of event. You won’t want to miss this hearty dose of joyful gala. Countless lights and garland grace vessels large and small. You are left to stand by in awe, amazement and wonder. Marvel at the bedecked boat decks and their trim as they turn out their nautical holiday finest just for you! Among the recommended viewing spots are The Esplanade and The Snook Inn, but you are welcome to find your perfect view where the boats shall sail, which is down the Marco River and around Collier Bay. December 7, 2013 from 6pm to 8pm.
