Now the parade is tentatively planned for next Saturday, December 16th.

The route for boats runs between the Woolsey Finnell Bridge and the Lurleen Wallace Bridge in Tuscaloosa and back the same way.

More than a dozen boats usually participate in Christmas Afloat, which will be visible from spots near the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, along the Riverwalk, at the Tuscaloosa Farmers Market and at the levee in Northport.
