Highlights of the Punta Gorda Lighted Boat Parade in PGI Last Night


It's dark, the middle of winter, the week before Christmas and in Punta Gorda the glimmering celebration of our life style here commenced with an array of illuminated vessels floating around the canals that make Punta Gorda a Venetian style wonder. This year's event was the 11th year for the "Saturday Night Before Christmas" Boat Parade, which featured 42 boats and thousands of lights. If you missed it, next year's parade will be December 22, 2012.

Here's just a small sample of photos taken last night in the annual Punta Gorda Isles Lighted Boat Parade that worked its way around the rim of PGI on a warm December night.
