The Gig Harbor Lighted Boat Parade, sponsored by the Gig Harbor Yacht Club, will make the harbor sparkle on Saturday, December 10, 2022 beginning at 5:00 p.m. A long line of brightly decorated boats, including fishing vessels, pleasure boats and kayaks, will parade twice around Gig Harbor.

All area boaters are very welcome to sail in the parade, whether or not they are members of the Gig Harbor Yacht Club. Skippers can sign up to receive more information by sending their name, boat name and length, email address and home port or club to [email protected]. There is no charge, and no commitment.

The parade route will start at Arabella’s Marina, proceed to the City Dock area, turn inside the harbor entrance, go down the north side of the harbor and turn again to pass by Anthony’s and the marinas in the western bay, and finally come back by Arabella’s and the City Dock before tracing the route a second time.

Recommended viewing points include: Skansie Brothers Park and Jerisich Dock, Ancich Waterfront Park and the Bogue Viewing Platform.
