The Gig Harbor Lighted Boat Parade, sponsored by the Gig Harbor Yacht Club, will make the Harbor sparkle once again, beginning at 5:00 PM.
A long line of brightly decorated boats, including fishing vessels, pleasure boats and kayaks, will parade around Gig Harbor. In past years there have been over 60 vessels in the parade!
All area boaters are encouraged to participate in the parade, whether or not they are members of the Gig Harbor Yacht Club. Just put some Christmas lights on your boat and join in the fun. Skippers can sign up to receive details and more information by registering at www.gigharboryc.com. There is no charge, and no commitment.
The parade route is twice around the harbor and can be viewed from all points along the shore with the best viewing from Jerisich Dock, Bogue Viewing Platform, Maritime Pier and Ancich Waterfront Park.
We are hoping for good weather, many boats, many lights, and enjoyment for all, whether on ship or ashore.
