The St. Johns River sparkles in holiday cheer during the Jacksonville Light Parade on November 26, 2011. Â Â Sailboats and other boats festively decorated for the holidays will parade down the river in the heart of Downtown. Â Boaters will light up the sails and dress up as Santas and wave to the crowds along the riverbanks.
This is a great way to get into the holiday spirit after Thanksgiving Day. Don’t miss this spectacular holiday event which is followed by a fireworks show with Jacksonville’s signature “waterfall†fireworks cascading from two Downtown bridges.
