The “Pontoon Parade” continues to be a great success, so of course we are continuing it this year! We plan on gathering in the North Bay (East of Crystal Cove) with the start time at 11 am.
We will also be awarding a trophy for the boat the judges vote as being the “best” (most festive, creative, and fun). Additional prizes will be awarded for second and third place, plus we will highlight “Fan Favorites.”
Pre-Registration is Stongly Encouraged via a web form below (but not required) this year, and all are welcome in any boat able to keep up with the pace. You are encouraged to show your festive Independence Day spirit and have fun.
A lead boat will be identified, large numbers will be provided to attach to your boat, and the route will proceed counter-clockwise around the lake for those on land to cheer! The plan is to set a pace that allows people on shore to enjoy the boats, but still keeps the show moving…
We plan to take pictures and post them soon after the event.
Summary Details:
When: July 4, at 11 am
Where: North Bay near Crystal Cove
Special Request: Pre-Registration is Stongly Encouraged (but not required) late entries are allowed if you just show up

Are they having fireworks on the 4th?
Yes, the fireworks are happening on the 4th.
I will be posting an article with the details.
Would all of the boats come all the way to the west end so we can see them! Some cut out the curve then we don’t get a good view. Thanks
