Yaquina Bay Lighted Boat Parade

Yaquina Bay Lighted Boat Parade

Saturday, December 7, 2024

Description

Join us for an evening of lights! This annual event is held the first Saturday of December each year, this is a fantastic tradition and a great way to start your holiday season. Started in 1994 by Fran & Don Mathews with Marine Discovery Tours, this event has been a local favorite for many years. Don Mathews died in 2018, but the Marine Discovery crew rallied, and the lighted boat parade went on. And then came COVID and the parade was canceled. The Yaquina Bay Yacht Club has had an 'unofficial' parade in the years since then but 2024 promises to be a resurgence of this event. There are lots of ways to enjoy the Lighted Boat Parade - decorating and entering your own boat; viewing from the piers along the shoreline or from the many restaurants along the Bayfront.

Best places to view the Boat Parade are on the Historic Bay Front at a number of Restaurants and businesses or from the Piers.
