2009 Charleston Parade of Boats
Sat., December 5, 2009
5PM-8PMish

The 2009 Charleston Parade Of Boats event in Charleston sails throughout the Charleston, SC Harbor.  Christmas once again on the waterways.  The "Parade of Boats" in Charleston, SC, crosses through the Charleston Harbor every year about this time showcasing their decorative sea bearing vessels.  "Deck the Halls" and become a part of this Charleston event by registering your boat with the city of Charleston, SC.

  Each boat will get thoroughly inspected and prizes go to 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place boats.  The categories are sail and power.  There will also be a "best in show" award going to the boat with the most points.  A captains meeting will be announced.

  The "Parade of Boats this Christmas in Charleston"  begins at approximately 5:30PM near the Mt. Pleasant side of the area and finishes at the end of Ashley River, (after parading down the Charleston side of the Cooper River), around 7:30PM. This time is an educated guess after you consider the weather and elements.  Spectators will able to view The Parade Of Boats from the Charleston Peninsula at approximately 6:30PM.  A fireworks display will begin at approximately 6:45PM and can be seen in the Charleston Harbor.  These time are approximate due to the weather, wind, current, tide, etc.

  At the pinnacle of the "Parade of Boats" join holiday spectators in watching an explosive fireworks show which can be viewed in the Charleston Harbor (6:45PM).  Dress warm and share some holiday cheer in Charleston, SC this season.

  Get a nice warm bowl of soup and sit in front of that cozy fire or a nice cold one and "catch up" at Charleston's finest restaurants and bars.
