Lighted Boat Parade, Presented by the Port of Anacortes
The Lighted Boat Parade returns to Cap Sante Marina! Gather along the waterfront and watch a festive flotilla of decorated boats make its way through Guemes Channel in this beloved holiday experience.
The magic continues as Santa makes a special arrival aboard the Salish Sea School’s 48-foot boat, Quinonia! Bring the family, snap a photo with Santa, and capture a little holiday magic at the iconic Crab Pot Tree — a true Anacortes tradition!
