Vessel crews compete for honors, adorning their rigging, masts, and hulls with thousands of synchronized color-changing LED lights, waving animated Santas, leaping glowing dolphins, and towering holiday trees. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Prime Waterfront Viewing: Families set up blankets and folding chairs along the wide paved promenade of Susan Campbell Park at City Dock and the Eastport Bridge walkway. • Accessibility: City Dock is flat, paved, and fully accessible for strollers and wagons. Arrive by 5:15 PM to secure prime harborside viewing spots and grab hot cocoa at nearby cafes. • Sensory Tips: Two complete parade loops pass within yards of the shoreline between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The boats play festive holiday music; gentle harbor breezes require warm winter coats, hats, and mittens for the little ones. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [Eastport Yacht Club Lights Parade](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/eastport-yacht-club-lights-parade--listing-e05f36106e6be877e93f66ee) — Sat, Dec 12 · 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Spa Creek, Annapolis · checked Oct 14.
