Lighted Boats Parade Around Richardson Bay

By Monica Grant | December 13, 2021 | Sausalito, CA |

There are now only two weeks until Christmas, and the lights are shining brightly around the Bay. Anyone who was in Sausalito this last weekend would have found it hard to miss the array of lighted boats that took part in the on-the-water parade. Residents and visitors enjoyed the spectacle of a record number of participating boats, which cruised by the waterfront for over an hour!

The ship was decked out with 5,600 lights. We can only imagine how long it took the crew to prepare.

As we understand it, around 60 boats paraded up and down Richardson Bay.

The fireworks display that followed Sausalito’s parade was, in some opinions, even more spectacular than the annual Fourth of July fireworks!

The entire Bay Area would have enjoyed the show.
