Parade of Lighted Ships

See a unique parade! The Olympia Yacht Club’s Parade of Lighted Ships will take place Saturday, December 2, 2023 at 6pm. Boats decorated for the holidays will travel from Percival Landing up through Budd Inlet to Boston Harbor Marina and back. The public is invited to watch the parade from Port Plaza, where Santa and Mrs. Claus will be handing out candy canes, coffee and hot cocoa at 5:30 (while supplies last).  This festive – and free! – Olympia tradition is a volunteer effort coordinated by OYC members and other participating boaters from South Sound marinas.
