The Fort Myers Beach Boat Parade makes its return this December

The Fort Myers Beach Boat Parade is making its long-awaited return to Southwest Florida.

The annual event was canceled last year due to the devastation of Hurricane Ian, which caused tremendous damage to Fort Myers Beach.

The parade is set to take place at the Salty Sam’s Marina, on Dec. 2.

As Floridians continue to recover, this annual boat event will become another mark for the return of normalcy for FMB residents.

Event organizers need boat participants in the parade and sponsors for the event.

The 35th boat parade is set to begin on Dec. 2 at 6 p.m.
