Panama City Boat Parade of Lights

A drone show opens the evening at 5 p.m., and the parade itself runs about 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. A Holiday Village at the Panama City Marina runs from 4 to 7 p.m., so come early with the kids. Boats start at the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club and head west past downtown, the Panama City Marina, St. Andrews Marina and Sun Harbor Marina before finishing at the Hathaway Bridge. The two marinas are the easiest viewing spots, and waterfront restaurants in St. Andrews fill up fast.
