The parade can be viewed in many areas and marinas around Clear Lake, Seabrook, and the Kemah Boardwalk. Come join in on the fun as decorated boats and Krews toss beads and trinkets to compete for the coveted annual awards. Boats will be judged on Best of Show, 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place in Power and Sail. Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Company on the Kemah Boardwalk will once again host the VIP party and judges stand.

Saturday morning February 3, the Coast Guard & local Law Enforcement will prepare all skippers with a required safety/briefing meeting to be held at Lakewood Yacht Club beginning at 10 AM. This is a mandatory meeting, and all participants must attend in order to officially participate in the parade. Boats not attending the meeting will be escorted out into the bay by the Coast Guard until the parade is over due to safety regulations.
