The 32nd Annual Holiday Parade of Boats will be held in Charleston Harbor on Saturday, December 7, 2013.
You can participate in the parade by simply registering, decorating your boat from stem to stern with lights, and joining on the water.
Thousands of spectators view the parade along the route from Mt. Pleasant to Charleston each year.
The parade begins at approximately 5:00PM near the Mt. Pleasant side and ends in the Ashley River, (after processing down the Charleston side of the Cooper River), at approximately 7:30PM.
Captains and crews will be invited to the Captain’s Party and Awards Ceremony at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina.
Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place boats in both the power and sail categories, with the best-in-show award going to the highest scoring boat overall.
