The Bellingham Yacht Club celebrates Holiday Magic with the Lighted Boat Parade on December 3, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. (weather permitting). The best public viewing spots are Boulevard Park and the Fairhaven Cruise Terminal.
All boaters are invited to participate and registrants are eligible to win prizes. Some parade participants plan elaborate displays and spend hours decorating. Last year’s winner used over 3,000 LED lights.
"The Lighted Boat Parade is a holiday tradition that lights up the Bay” Commodore Cathy Herbold commented. She added, “Safety is extremely important and we are fortunate to have the Coast Guard providing oversight during the parade."
A holiday party follows the parade at the Bellingham Yacht Club for members, guests and registered parade participants.

It’s not too late to join the BYC. New members are always welcomed and neither boat ownership nor sponsorship is required.
