The Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade takes over Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway on Saturday, December 12, 2026, with a non-motorized pre-show at 5:30 PM and the main parade of over 100 lit-up yachts starting at 6:00 PM. If you're boating up from Sunny Isles Beach to catch the show, Mykonos Kitchen & Bar is your last (or first) stop on the water.
Arriving by boat: Our private dock makes it easy to pull in for dinner before heading north along the Intracoastal to Fort Lauderdale, or to stop back in for a late dinner once the parade wraps. No need to fight for parking near the viewing areas - tie up, eat, and go.
Arriving by car: If you're watching from shore, make an evening of it. Reserve a table beforehand and enjoy fresh branzino, Greek mezze, and waterfront views before the 25–30 minute drive north to Fort Lauderdale's parade route.
What to expect at the parade: Over 100 decorated vessels, fireworks, and crowds along Las Olas Boulevard and the New River - it's one of South Florida's biggest holiday boating traditions, now in its 55th year.
Reserve ahead: December is a high-demand month for waterfront dining in Sunny Isles. We recommend booking your table at least a week in advance, especially for parade night.
