⭐America 250 ⭐ Twinkle on the Tchefuncte Lighted Boat Parade
Saturday December 13, 5-8 PM | Parade at 6PM
We are excited to announce that Twinkle on the Tchefuncte is now a part of the journey leading up to the largest commemoration and celebration in American history. Join us in Honoring Veterans & 1st Responders and celebrating the unity, resilience, and freedom we enjoy as we approach the nation's 250th anniversary.
Event Highlights:
⭐ Dozens of festively-lit and patriotic boats sail the Tchefuncte followed by caroling by candlelight on Madisonville's Riverfront, north side.
⭐The parade launches at 6:00 PM, sails north through the Madisonville bridge, and will loop past riverfront crowds several times before returning to the wall to dock. Caroling by candlelight on the riverfront follows.
⭐ Free, family-friendly event. Bring chairs, blankets, and your holiday spirit! Special prices for treats and beverages at local restaurants. Ice chests are welcome.
