A Different Kind of Boat Parade
13th
Annual
PUNTA GORDA BOAT PARADE
Always the Saturday Night Before Christmas Eve
DECEMBER 21, 2012
This outstanding, up close and personal community event is
unique to Punta Gorda.
The warmth, fun and
direct interaction between boat
crews and the excited close up spectators is not duplicated
anywhere else but in our community.
Bring your bells and make a Joyous Noise for us all again
this year.
With Blessings to all,
Tom Little & Harris Bowers
Join With Us and See What Makes
a Punta Gorda Christmas
so Special!
