Why go
Tacoma Yacht Club’s bridge officers lead the parade, and the club invites boats from outside its membership to join.
What happens
Saturday, December 19. Boats gather in front of the Point Defiance docks, near Anthony’s, around 5:30pm. The parade runs along the Tacoma waterfront and down the Foss Waterway, ending at Dock Street Marina.
Good to know
The route follows the waterfront, so it can be watched from shore along the way. The yacht club’s page lists no spectator fee.
Next year: a Saturday in December.
