Christmas Ship Parade
Foothills Park
Saturday, December 17
6:00pm
2011 marks the 57th year of the magical Christmas Ship Parade! This holiday tradition began in 1954 with a lone sailboat from the Portland Yacht Club. Boats from 14’ to 65’ long are brightly colored for the holiday season. Up to 60 holiday boats are expected to make up the two fleets which will make their way to Lake Oswego. They will depart from RiverPlace Marina and continue as far as George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, arriving between 6:15 and 6:30p. Make plans to enjoy the sparkle of the colorful flotilla from the shores of the Willamette at beautiful Foothills Park. A warm fire in the shelter will guard you from the frigid winter temperatures. For additional information, visit http://www.christmasships.org. The event is dependent upon weather and river conditions. |
