Alameda Oakland Lighted Yacht Parade (2024)

Allison Mahan

Encinal & Oakland Yacht Clubs are excited to announce the  48th annual Lighted Yacht Parade, Dec. 7th starting just after sundown (around 5:30PM), rain or shine. Boats and watercraft of all kinds are decorated to the nines to spread holiday cheer and raise funds in support of the Oakland Firefighters’ Random Acts of Kindness and the Alameda County Food Bank. Free to all, the public can view the parade anywhere along the Alameda or Oakland sides of the estuary, between Jack London Square and Fortman Marina. Pack a thermos of hot chocolate, and head on down.

Donations of an unwrapped toy or non-perishable food item are graciously accepted. Collection barrels can be found in the lobbies of both Encinal and Oakland Yacht Clubs.
