Friends of the Riverwalk will not only host the July 4th Boat Parade, but also a Water Ski Show (NEW this year), Poker Run and Blessing of the Fleet as part of the Boom by the Bay festivities.
There will be a large banner, located in Curtis Hixon Park, for people to sign, offer their thanks and well wishes to the Bolts for their historic run. Those participating in the boat parade are encouraged to include Lightning décor along with their patriotic-themed displays.
The parade route will be like the holiday light boat parade but will include a Water Ski Show at Sparkman Wharf to kick off the celebration, a poker run and a blessing station. To participate in the boat parade, be eligible for prizes, and a special Captain's Dinner, please register with Friends of The Riverwalk. Otherwise, anyone who wants to participate in the boat parade is welcome, both on land and sea!
