This is the last weekend before Christmas, and there are just two more Bay Area lighted boat parades remaining on this year’s schedule:

  • December 16 — St. Francis YC Lighted Boat Parade, from Pier 39 to Ft. Mason, 6 p.m. Info, www.stfyc.com.
  • December 17 — San Rafael Lighted Boat Parade, 5 p.m. Info, www.lightedboatparade.org.
Clear skies forecast for the weekend means you won’t get wet while enjoying the parades, but be sure to bundle up cuz, baby, it’s cold outside!
