Annual Fort Lauderdale Attraction Presents “Broadway on the Waterway”

When it comes to the South Florida winters, no one’s sitting by the fireplace and rattling their teeth with a blanket over their shoulders. Quite the contrary, they’re one of the best times to relax outside and enjoy the weather. And so it makes sense that the fresh climate will encourage residents to participate in a number of outdoor activities.

One Fort Lauderdale attraction to mark on your calendar is the 35th Annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade. Dubbed as “Broadway on the Waterway,” the event will feature at least 100 vessels that will sail along the Intracoastal Waterway from Port Everglades to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach. The ships take off on Dec. 16th at 6:30 p.m.

The parade will have a Broadway theme with many decorations that reference such musical classics as “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Cats” and “Grease.” Crew members will get a mix of live music and visual arts. Frank Valli, the singer for the Four Seasons, will be the parade’s grand marshal.

Residents with their own vessels can participate in the parade with a fee of $35. Tickets for adults is $18 and for children $13. The Port Everglades is close to many homes in Fort Lauderdale so the drive to the parade shouldn’t be a problem for residents.
