Every December, thousands of Southwest Florida families flock to the Cape Coral Holiday Boat Parade (officially called the Holiday Festival of Lights & Boat-A-Bration) to watch dozens of decorated boats cruise down the Caloosahatchee River and along the waterfront. The 2025 parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, and it's already shaping up to be one of the biggest yet!
If you live in Cape Coral or Fort Myers and plan to host friends and family at your home for prime parade viewing, you already know that waterfront and near-waterfront yards fill up fast. Kids get excited watching the lighted boats, listening to holiday music, and enjoying the festive atmosphere, but after the parade passes, they still have hours of energy to burn.
That's exactly why adding a bounce house rental has become the secret weapon for the smartest hosts in Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
5 Reasons a Bounce House Makes Your Boat Parade Party Legendary
- Keeps the kids happily entertained for hours - While adults sip hot cocoa and chat after the boats go by, children can bounce, slide, and play safely in the yard.
- Perfect for Southwest Florida's mild December weather - With evening temperatures typically in the upper 60s to low 70s, kids stay comfortable jumping under the stars and holiday lights.
- Turns your house into THE spot on the block - Neighbors and friends will be talking about your party all season long when they see a giant, lit-up bounce house glowing alongside your Christmas decorations.
- Works great with popular parade themes - Many of our customers choose holiday-themed bounce houses or combo units with slides that match the nautical and Christmas vibe of the boat parade.
- Stress-free for parents - Our team at SWFL Amusements delivers, sets up, and picks up the next day so you can focus on enjoying the evening.
Popular choices for Boat Parade parties this year include our Christmas-themed bounce houses, the ever-popular Tropical Combo with slide, and even our LED-lighted bounce houses that look amazing once the sun goes down and the parade lights reflect off the water.
Booking early is crucial - the weekend of December 13, 2025, is already filling up fast for bounce house rentals in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. Secure your unit now and make this year's Holiday Boat Parade one your family and friends will never forget.
