Sailors and mariners are bringing holiday cheer to the waterways as they deck out their boats in festive lights for various boat parades in Virginia. From the Alexandria Holiday Boat Parade on the Potomac River to the Smithfield Station Holiday Boat Parade on the Pagan River, there are plenty of opportunities to see creatively themed and illuminated watercrafts in action. The Virginia Beach Holiday Boat Parade of Lights hosted by the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad Foundation offers a VIP viewing party at Chick’s Oyster Bar while the Yorktown Lighted Boat Parade on the York River features a town trolley adding to the festive atmosphere. Further south, the Riverside Vines Annual Holiday Boat Parade on Lake Chesdin promises prizes, drinks, treats, and an MC to keep the fun going. The holidays are truly shining bright on the water this season in Virginia. For more information on Alexandria’s holiday celebrations, make sure to visit their website. Don’t miss out on these dazzling displays if you’re in the area this December.
