Light up the holidays at the 2008 Jacksonville Light Parade

Saturday, November 29
7 p.m.
Downtown Riverfront

Thanksgiving weekend wouldn't be complete without the Jacksonville Light Parade. Boats of every shape and size are imaginatively adorned with decorations that captivate senses and stimulate imaginations. Seafarers and landlubbers of all ages are sure to be dazzled by the area's largest lighted boat parade.

The parade begins at Metropolitan Park, travels along the Northbank past The Jacksonville Landing and circles to the Southbank. The route continues along the Southbank, under the Main Street Bridge, past the Navy Memorial statue and down to the Duval County School Board Building.

Following the boat parade, fireworks will be shot from river barges in front of The Jacksonville Landing, Hyatt Regency Hotel and west of the Acosta Bridge. The signature "waterfall" fireworks will be shot from both sides of the Main Street Bridge and the east side of the Acosta Bridge.
