2019 San Rafael Lighted Boat Parade | North Bay

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The San Rafael Lighted Boat Parade takes place annually along the entire length of the San Rafael Canal and it’s happening on Saturday, December 7, 2019, at 5 pm.

Please note that we’ve confirmed the 2019 date, but event details are still not available as of December 2, 2019. For an idea of what to expect, here’s what happened in 2018. 

The parade is built upon the spirit of the local boating community and is actively supported by four local yacht clubs including the San Rafael Yacht Club, The Loch Lomond Yacht Club, The Marin Yacht Club and the Classic Yacht association.

The parade begins as boats converge at the east end of the San Rafael Canal, across from Pickleweed Park. The San Rafael police boat “Mission City” will emerge from the Marin Yacht Club marina to lead the parade.

Boats will proceed east along the Canal to the Turning Basin behind Montecito Shopping Center, and back to Pickleweed Park.
