Treasure Island’s annual holiday boat parade is Saturday (Dec. 19).

TREASURE ISLAND – Treasure Island’s Lighted Boat Parade is like Las Vegas on the water – dazzlingly decorated boats of all kinds circle the city on one special night, officials say.

The parade is a friendly competition for top prizes awarded after the parade that evening at the Club at Treasure Island. Residents with Treasure Island waterfront homes host humungous boat parade parties but if you haven’t received an invitation, not to worry – there are plenty of prime viewing spots on the island.

Best public viewing areas for the Treasure Island Lighted Boat Parade:

• 115th Avenue on Isle of Palms
• Treasure Island Causeway Bridge
• Kingfish Drive at John’s Pass (Gator’s Cafe & Saloon)
• Blind Pass Bridge (between Treasure Island & St. Pete Beach)

Parade departs the the Club at Treasure Island at 6:20 p.m. on Saturday (Dec. 19). It arrives at the Treasure Island Causeway Bridge about 7 p.m. and ends about 8:15 p.m. at John’s Pass. The Treasure Island Causeway Bridge will close to vehicle traffic at 7 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 19) for about 30 to 45 minutes to allow the boat parade to pass through.
