About this adventure
Dozens of colorfully decorated sailing boats, powerboats, and historic bay vessels cruise along the Sausalito waterfront for Marin County's 39th annual Lighted Boat Parade. Vessels adorned with sparkling lights, animated reindeer, and holiday displays illuminate Richardson Bay, followed immediately by a winter fireworks display over the water. Gabrielson Park serves as the central viewing gathering point, featuring live musical performances, food vendors, and hot cider. Paved waterfront paths provide smooth strolling for families with young children. Free public shoreline viewing is available throughout downtown Sausalito.
