TOWN 'N COUNTRY - The eighth annual Bay Crest Park holiday boat parade is on tap from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, with participants from all across the Tampa Bay area encouraged to participate.

The event used to involve just Bay Crest residents, but lately has been including anyone interested in participating. In past years, 20 to 25 boats have been in the parade, but organizers hope there will be more this year.

Participants are free to decorate their boat however they choose. The last few parades have included decor ranging from an Elvis Christmas to Christmas in the tropics.

The event is free to watch and free for participants. The best place for spectators to view the parade is from a small park at the end of Bay Crest Drive.

The parade begins at Bay Pointe Condominiums on Bay Pointe Drive, passes Bay Crest Mini Park at the end of Bay Crest Drive, proceeds through New Bay Crest, through Bay Crest Mini Park again to reach Old Bay Crest, and ends at Tahiti Lane.
