Belushi Rocks Winterfest

We may not have snow around here — thank goodness — but we do have lots of water. And, heck, nothing says “holiday season in Florida” quite like a boat pimped out with lights. This Saturday, watch as dozens of watercraft lit to the gills take to the Intracoastal for the 2008 Winterfest Boat Parade. It’s a great excuse to get outdoors, cocktail in hand, and it’s free to watch, unless you wish to secure a $20 grandstand seat at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, at 3109 E. Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. Paying tribute to this year’s theme, “Rockin’ the Night Aweigh,” is Grand Marshal Jim Belushi, known not only as an actor but also a member of the Sacred Hearts Band.
