 Antioch Lighted Boat Parade Tradition Continues
December 3, 2011

ANTIOCH LIGHTED BOAT PARADE: December 3rd, 6 PM, Rivertown District (downtown)

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The boat parade started earlier than noticed on the ACFA website. The information given to the Arts & Cultural Foundation was that the parade was to begin at 6 PM. This early start time was not provided to us and we apologize deeply who missed the parade or were only able to see part of the parade.  It may have been due to the high wind advisory notice that they chose to begin early.   

Once again the Holiday DeLites Street Parade will not take place this year due to the economic downturn and city funding cuts, however, the Antioch Lighted Boat Parade will be held, as it has been for over twenty-five years. The event is sponsored by Driftwood, Sportsman, Bridge Marina and Dos Rios Yacht Clubs and the Ebony Boat Club. The parade begins at 6:00 PM and the best locations to view are the Antioch Municipal Pier and all along 2nd Street in downtown Antioch. The boat parade is free and will have approximately 15 entries. 

The event is also an opportunity to collect toys for homeless students who attend schools in Antioch. Drop off new toys at the Lynn House Gallery, 809 W. 1st Street before, during or after the parade. For more information email
