Holiday Lights Boat Parade
December 12, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
18th Annual
Lake Interlochen Holiday Lights Day Boat Parade
Decorate your boat and be part of the parade or cheer the boats from your home or yard.
Boat Line-up: 6:50-7:00 p.m.
Boats should line up on the lake side of the dock where the parade will begin at 1415 Porto Bello Ct. in Middle Channel (i.e., from the Watkins gazebo toward the Lake). When the parade begins, the lead boat will head toward Westwood.
Parade: 7:00 p.m.
The parade will head toward Westwood, make a u- turn, and head back toward the Lake.
Boats are asked to parade in a single-line form and remain behind the lead boat. Please keep a safe distance between the boat in front of and behind your boat. Note the side of the canals on which boats will travel. The parade route has been designed so boats do not have to crisscross during the parade.
Boats will parade slowly down the canals so neighbors can enjoy the parade from their homes and yards. There will be people watching from inside their homes (that you may not see from your boat) and there will be people watching in their yards.
