SUMMARY:Cocoa Village Holiday Boat Parade
DESCRIPTION:Join Cocoa Village Main Street for the largest charitable Holiday Boat Parade on the Space Coast\, presented by Cocoa Ford! \nThis parade begins at the Rockledge Valencia Dock\, heads North along the shore\, cuts in near the Cocoa Riverfront Park\, continues North under the 520 bridge up to the Highland Park area\, and turns back around. \nSince we follow the ICW\, the Cocoa Village boat parade is perfect for large vessels who require a larger draft. The relatively straight path is also ideal for those who want to do a boat parade but cannot navigate a large vessel through tight canals! \nRegister your boat using the link here: https://visitcocoavillage.com/event/holiday-boat-parade-2\nWatch the parade from the Cocoa Riverfront Park or along Riverside Dr. (Remember that Lee Wenner Park\, the parking by the water\, is closed for construction) \nAll proceeds from sponsorships\, donations\, and t-shirt sales will benefit the Sharing Center of Central Brevard. \nBoat captains are encouraged to get creative and transform their vessels into magical winter wonderlands! If you want to compete for prizes\, make sure to pre-register and attend the Captain’s Meeting\, held December 11th 6PM at Time Out Sports Bar in Cocoa Village.
