Every Year the privateers organize a Christmas automobile parade that starts at the Anna Maria City pier and ends at Coquina Beach in Bradenton Beach City.  Anyone can join in the fun and normally candy or beads are thrown to the spectators.  Of course this is yet another festivity that gets islanders in the mood for Christmas.   In addition to the auto parade, there are several boat parades that take place on and off the island.  Its always great fun!
