Yorktown Lighted Boat Parade (Yorktown)
December 7 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeThe York River is going to sparkle tonight! Watch as a fleet of decorated boats compete for best in show.
Pre-parade festivities start at 6 p.m. and include caroling around illuminated braziers, a musical performance by the Fifes and Drums of York Town, and complimentary hot cider. At 7 p.m. the boats will finish out the evening as they make their way down the river in a dazzling show of lights. This annual event has been a community tradition for more than two decades and brings neighbors together to celebrate the season.
As an added safety precaution, families are encouraged to bring flashlights to assist in navigation around town at night. In the event weather conditions pose a threat, please call the York County Event Weather Hotline for the most current information at 757.890.3520. This event is sponsored by the Yorktown Foundation.
