Event Details

Join Tomorrow’s Rainbow for the 13th Annual Hope Floats, a free family-friendly community event honoring loved ones while bringing people together in hope and remembrance. The event takes place Sunday, March 29 from 1–4 PM at Esplanade Park in Fort Lauderdale.

Guests are invited to decorate a memorial paper boat in honor of someone they love and watch it sail down the New River during the moving Hope Floats memorial boat parade at 3 PM. Each boat represents a life remembered and a message of love that continues beyond loss.

The afternoon also features live music, food trucks, face painting, games, prizes, and a bounce house, making it a meaningful and welcoming event for all ages. Attendees will even have the chance to meet Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s therapy horses, Boo and Bogart.

Proceeds from memorial boat purchases support Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s free grief and trauma programs for children and families across South Florida.
