Advertisement
🚤✨ Help us light up Porters Lake for the closing night of Lake & Shore Days 2026!
Join us on the water—or find a spot along the shoreline—for a magical twilight Boat Parade on Porters Lake.
📅 Sunday, August 16, 2026
🕘 9:00 p.m.
Parade Route
The parade will begin on the north side of the narrows, travel through the narrows, continue in a clockwise circle around the cove near Docks R Us, and finish at Sandy Point Beach.
📸 Please see the pinned photo in the event for the full route map.
Participating boats are encouraged to deck themselves out in lights to help create a bright and memorable parade across the lake. This year’s Lake & Shore Days theme is Under the Sea, so participants are welcome to have fun incorporating the theme into their decorations.
Decorating is encouraged, but it is not required to join the parade.
✨ Light up your boat and make it shine
🌊 Under the Sea decorations are encouraged, but optional
🏆 This is a fun, non-competitive event with no judging
🚤 No registration is required
Those wishing to participate should be at the north side of the narrows by 9:00 p.m.
Please note that there will be no fireworks following the Boat Parade this year.
Grab a seat along the lake, cheer on the boats and help us create a magical closing night for Lake & Shore Days! 🌙✨
