Should be able to see it from Long Island Village, the KOA and the County RV Park too.

Here is a map of the common route taken. The parade is over for 2015, but in case you want to see it next year.

I posted this in August when I was making the plan for the winter. Come to find out that Jetty Park in Canaveral FL has a boat parade every year. This year it's Dec 18th. We'll be missing it by a week (and probably a launch as well), but if anyone does a search for this in the future, it's here.

I'm not sure if it will be visible from the park, but the restaurants in "The Cove" have viewing available.

In florida it's hard ti find a campground on the water because of the high property values. You might try the key's.

Uncertain Texas has a Christmas boat parade, very near Caddo Lake State Park.

One in Rockport, TX. Viewable from some RV Parks.

Demopolis, AL has a Christmas parade made up of barges that passes Foscue Creek COE Campground.

This is from a couple years ago....

You really should specify where you will be 'on the road'.

That's a good question, Barb. The only hard location we have right now is Lake Worth FL around Thanksgiving. I found a website that lists 74 boat parades in Fla but I thought I'd try to narrow down the possibilities.

When we did the Bermuda parade, we stayed at a place right on the harbour, so we could watch the boats right from our room.
