BACE committee member Ritchie Bloomfield pictured with each of our Jingle Bell Rockstars as they received their trophies and prizes.

🏆 CHAMPIONS
Luke, Liz & Abby Grant – Don’t Panic
The ultimate Jingle Bell Rockstars and longest serving veterans. What started years ago as a few fairy lights on a 4-metre tinny has evolved into an eye-popping, mist-filled Christmas Kraken 🐙🎄glowing tentacles, bursting colour, and proof that size definitely isn’t everything. Absolute legends.

🥈 SECOND PLACE
Kev Adams with Parade Santa Ed Dean – Salty Kisses
Certified Jingle Bell Rockstars and parade regulars. Santa’s sleigh on water 🎅✨ hauled by seven reindeer in a kaleidoscope of colour, complete with a caboose of gifts trailing behind. Pure Christmas magic.

🥉 THIRD PLACE
Kelvin Deasy – Lady in Red
A full-noise Jingle Bell Rockstar display. Drenched in vivid, neon-style Christmas lights, casting stunning reflections right across Pacific Harbour, with Santa glowing proudly from the stern ❤️🎄

🎁 LUCKY DRAW WINNERS
Darren & Kelly Doel – Reel Escape
From last year’s launch-ramp heartbreak to this year’s lucky break. First-time finishers, instant Jingle Bell Rockstars, and making the journey all the way from Bracken Ridge — proof this Bribie tradition reaches well beyond the island.

👏 Thank you to every Jingle Bell Rockstar who lit up the water this year. Your time, effort, creativity and travel are what make this event so special.

🎄🚤 Bring on next year — the 16th Edition of Bribie’s Favourite Festive Season Tradition! ✨

🏆 PHOTO & VIDEO COMPETITION WINNER ANNOUNCED! 📸🎉

🙏 Thank you to everyone who shared their amazing photos and videos!
The quality of entries from the 2025 Bribie Island Christmas Lights Boat Parade was outstanding.

🏆 Our Photo & Video Competition Winner is Kerry.
The photos you see here are the winning images. They captured the colour, movement and community vibe of the night, from dazzling boats and decorated canal-side homes to families and friends enjoying the parade and those magical reflections on the water.

A little about our winner 👇
Semi-retired and recently moved to Morayfield from Mount Isa, Kerry wasn’t sure what to expect on the night, so she threw the camera in the car just in case. We’re very glad she did.

🎁 The prize, proudly provided by Brisbane Cruises is a Brisbane to Gold Coast Cruise for two adults, including morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and return transport to Hamilton. A big thank you to for supporting Bribie’s favourite festive tradition.

And a special note from the judges…
They were very glad there was no 4th prize, because splitting it between the other high-calibre entries would have been impossible 😅
