'''Boat parades''' are a waterway event with illuminated boats. Some of the well known water parades include locations such as [Walt Disney World](/source/Walt_Disney_World), the [Newport Beach](/source/Newport_Beach_Christmas_boat_parade) Christmas Boat Parade,<ref>{{Cite web|title=2020 Newport Beach Boat Parade Website - Company Christmas Event And Holiday Party Cruise|url=https://christmasparadeboats.com/|access-date=2021-05-27|website=christmasparadeboats.com}}</ref> and [Fort Lauderdale](/source/Fort_Lauderdale%2C_Florida).

Fort Lauderdale's annual parade in December is titled the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade {{!}} The Best Show on H2O|url=https://winterfestparade.com/|access-date=2021-05-27|language=en-US}}</ref> This signature event hosts 100 decorated vessels traveling east to the [Intracoastal Waterway](/source/Intracoastal_Waterway) and heading north to Lake Santa Barbara in [Pompano Beach](/source/Pompano_Beach%2C_Florida).

Sports teams in [Tampa, Florida](/source/Tampa%2C_Florida) traditionally have a boat parade down the [Hillsborough River](/source/Hillsborough_River_(Florida)) when they win a championship rather than a [victory parade](/source/victory_parade) through the streets of the city like in most other places.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lightning, City of Tampa to host boat parade, fan rally|url=https://www.nhl.com/lightning/news/tampa-bay-lightning-city-of-tampa-to-host-boat-parade-fan-rally/c-319226540|access-date=2021-07-13|website=NHL.com|date=29 September 2020 |language=en-US}}</ref>
