December 15, 2024
Gulf Coast International Properties is proud to announce that their Christmas float earned first place at Naples Annual Christmas Parade, held on December 3rd in the heart of downtown Naples.
This beloved community tradition, attended by thousands of residents and visitors, featured 101 creative entries in its float contest, showcasing the holiday spirit and talent in Naples.
The parade, a highlight of the December calendar, included spectacular performances by five school marching bands, appearances by the Parade Grand Marshal, the Color Guard, Naples Police Department, a Veterans group, City Council, the Mayor, and the County Sheriff’s Office.
Out of the 60 business participants, GCIP’s float earned top honors in the category, garnering an award presented at City Hall. Both the public and local officials praised the float, with many stating it elevated the event to “the next level”.
The float’s visionary design was led by Kevin and Jenny Thomas of GCIP. Kevin shared his excitement, “I was thrilled to support GCIP in the immense task of designing our first-ever parade float. This recognition is incredible, especially as newcomers to the competition. The process involved countless hours of labor and an impressive 40,000 lights but seeing the joy it brought to the community made it all worthwhile.”
