Seas the day! The Seattle Christmas Boat Parade will be held on December 17, 2022 and start at 7:00PM. The parade will begin in the front of the Fremont Tugboats, just East of the Aurora Bridge, directly across from the Morrison’s Full Dock and will make a full loop back around Lake Union clockwise.

This is a judged event. Categories include Best in Show (People’s Choice Award), Best Santa & Reindeer theme, Best & Biggest Christmas Tree and Light Theme, Best Christmas Snowman (Winter Wonderland Theme), and the Most Overall Christmas Lights (Brightest and Most Colorful Boat in the Parade)

This event is also sponsoring a toy drive for Seattle Children’s Hospital. Ballard’s West Marine store (1400 NW 45^th Street) will be collecting new toys for Seattle Children's Hospital and registering vessels for the parade this Thursday and Friday. To donate, please bring unwrapped gifts to West Marine from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM.



Some of the best views of this year’s parade will be at Gar Works Park, where there is a grassy patch to relax and enjoy the show. Be sure to bring a jacket to stay warm!  

Berschler Associates, PC (Berschler) shares this event to encourage participation in our maritime community and to bring us together this holiday season. Berschler serves the Seattle area with our sister firm Berschler & Draluck.
