Deep Creek Lighted Boat Parade
Advertisement
Mark your calendars! The 2026 Deep Creek Lighted Boat Parade will take place on Saturday, November 21st – and we’re planning our best event yet.
The Captains meeting will take place on November 12 at Donnelly's Dockside downstairs bar beginning at 6:30. We'll cover the parade route, rules, and hold the annual slip auction.
Honestly, I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the actual parade or the slip auction. After spending so much time decorating your boat and making it look incredible, the last thing you want to do is head home when the parade is over. It's a whole lot more fun when you've secured a slip at Donnelly's and can keep the party going while showing off all your hard work.
The slip auction and raffle are a big part of what makes this event special. All funds raised go directly toward prize money and our charitable donation. In other words, you're partying for a cause.
🌟 Again this year: A judging panel to crown the Best Decorated Boats
🌟 Last year’s highlights:
- A record 34 boats participated
- Over $2,100 raised for the Maryland Food Bank
- The winning captain took home over $2,100 in prize money!
After the parade, we’ll gather at Donnelly’s Dockside for the official after-party celebration.
To enter, send me a message. Additional details will follow as we get closer to the event. There is a $35 entry fee that is used to raise prize and donation money. There isn’t a better party than a party for a cause!!
