WHAT IS WINTERFEST?

T

he countdown has begun for the Greatest Show on H2O; the 48th Annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest® Boat Parade will be rockin’ the South Florida waterways on Saturday, December 14, 2019. There is no better way to kick off the holiday season, Fort Lauderdale style, with boats of all shapes and sizes decked out in millions of lights and thousands of watts of music pumping through their sound systems - all for the entertainment of the more than one million spectators along the 12-mile waterway Parade route. This year’s theme is “Lights, Camera, Action ... Movies on Parade” and promises to bring out the rocker in all of us with Grand Marshal BRET MICHAELS! Dubbed the “World’s Most Watched Boat Parade,” Winterfest® Inc. has an economic impact averaging 50 million dollars annually to the South Florida economy. Noted as Florida’s #1 attended one-day live spectator event, the Parade is recognized as #7 in the U.S and Top 20 Parade in the World. Each year, Winterfest® organizers strive to create an unexpected twist for Parade guests, and this year is no different. Expect lots of surprises – you never know who will show up at a Winterfest® event!

Winterfest®, Inc. is a 501(c)4 not for profit organization created to produce unique, cutting edge, awe-inspiring events. Winterfest® promotes the Greater Fort Lauderdale area and the various businesses that support the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest® Boat Parade, all while bringing the community together.

The tradition became an organized event in 1971 and incorporated in 1988. Today, Winterfest® Inc. employs a staff of three with a Board of Directors, interns, and volunteers who are involved all year long. Winterfest® produces this FREE signature Parade every December, utilizing government agencies such as the United States Coast Guard, Fort Lauderdale Marine Patrol, Fort Lauderdale Police Department, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, Broward Sheriff’s Office, Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Highway Patrol and Homeland Security. Winterfest® coordinates with 160 police details for land and sea, 27 ham operators, 25 control boat volunteers, control boat captains, towboat operators, bridge tenders, charter boat captains, dock masters, and an additional 300 volunteers.

All this fun is captured on camera in conjunction with WSVN 7 to produce a special shown digitally all over the world.

The Winterfest Foundation is proud to announce 13-year-old Emma Sorenson nominated by Make-A-Wish Southern Florida as the 2019 Winterfest® Jr. Captain in the 48th annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest® Boat Parade.

Nearly 65,000 social media views created awareness of Broward County charities that submitted nominees.

The children nominees represented Boys and Girls Club of Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Jr. Sharks, JDRF- South Florida Chapter, Kids In Distress, MakeA- Wish Southern Florida, National MS Society, Soaring Butterflies for Turner Syndrome Inc, The Russel Education Foundation, Tomorrow’s Rainbow, and United Community Options.

As Jr. Captain, Emma will have her name in lights aboard the Showboat which will be decorated with the Aladdin theme. Emma will be aboard the Showboat powered by FPL with 24 guests on the Carrie B.
