PHOENIX – There are plenty of options for holiday parades in the Phoenix area each year, but only one floats.
The 20th annual Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade will glow across Tempe Town Lake on Saturday night.
The event will include live entertainment, food and adult beverage vendors and a holiday market at Tempe Beach Park from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The parade begins at 7 p.m. from the north shore at Tempe Town Lake Marina. The boats will head west, turn right at the light rail bridge and then head back east along the north shore.
