27th Annual Parade of Lights, December 9th

Activities begin at 3:00 p.m. with Santa’s Village on the City Pier (in the harbor), where Santa Claus and his elves will treat kids to goody bags and a 10-ton snowfield. The parade begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by a five-minute fireworks show, then a rollicking awards party at the Maritime Museum, where over $3,000 in prizes will be distributed to participating boats. Boaters wishing to participate can sign up for this great community event at the Harbormaster’s Office. Best views of the Parade are from Stearns Wharf and the breakwater.
