Multiple Florida Communities Host Annual Holiday Parades Featuring Boats, Bands, and Fireworks

Greenfield, Massachusetts, is set to host its annual Halloween celebration on October 31, featuring downtown trick-or-treating, a free screening of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and the Rag Shag Parade led by the Greenfield High School Marching Band. This family-friendly event emphasizes community spirit, with costumed participants including children, adults, and dogs, concluding at Energy Park. In Florida, Palm Beach County is expanding its holiday festivities by adding a third boat parade to its traditional two, with the inaugural Boat Parade of the Greater Palm Beaches scheduled for December 13. Organized by Sailfish Marina on Singer Island, this parade will showcase about 50 decorated boats, costumed captains, a fireworks display, and a VIP viewing party, benefiting The Little Smiles Annual Holiday Toy Drive. These events highlight local efforts to celebrate seasonal holidays through community engagement and festive activities. Additionally, a Gulf High School parade in New Port Richey invites the public to join in cheering on the Gulf Buccaneers, and Orlando announces road closures to accommodate its Veteran's Day parade, indicating a busy season of public celebrations across various regions.
