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.
