The Award-winning Pasquotank River Yacht Club Lighted Boat Parade – December 1, 2023, 7:00 pm, Downtown Waterfront (immediately after First Friday ArtWalk).

Pasquotank River Yacht Club members will coordinate and schedule the actual parade of festive boats, and ECDI will help promote the event on land. A parade of festively decorated and lighted boats of all sizes and kinds will circle the harbor for your enjoyment.

The best areas to gather and watch are Mariners’ Wharf Park and Moth Boat Park. Cheer on the crews of the beautiful boats from the Winter Wonderland of Mariners’ Wharf Park where green and red glow sticks will be handed out to kids and kids at heart. There will also be a wandering Santa and other activities and treats.
