November 26th 2022

Join us… One and ALL… Saturday, November 26th, 2022 for the Annual FREE Savannah Boat Parade of Lights. This 20-year tradition has been enjoyed by generations of locals and visitors alike. The Savannah Boat Parade of Lights, headed by Savannah Harbor Foundation has also been a great benefit to the charities it has contributed to!

  This year we are partnering with Greenbriar Children’s Center, an amazing organization which has been helping children in need in Savannah since 1949! We will be donating proceeds raised by the parade to the Center, and this year… A very special treat… The Greenbriar children will be designing our parade t-shirts!

The Parade of Lights, led by the Georgia Queen Riverboat, will begin its voyage on the Eastern Wharf Dock at the Thompson Savannah Hotel, Our Premier Sponsor.  After passing the panel of judges at the Eastern Wharf Park, the Captains will continue down the river past River Street and Plant Riverside District, ending back at the Eastern Wharf Dock.

  The Eastern Wharf Park committee is planning a wonderful event to coincide with the festivities of the parade!

Enjoy the Crafty, Fun, Creative, Whimsically decorated vessels that these Captains and their Crews work so diligently on! Cheer them on as they volunteer their time and efforts to ring in the Holiday Season! 

This event is presented completely by volunteers… NO proceeds will be used to pay anyone for their services or participation. Please let us know how you can help, or how we can answer any questions… by contacting delylah Thompson, Parade Chair, at SavBoatParade@gmail.com.

 ALL donations, big and small, will be Accepted, Appreciated, and Acknowledged…   Thank you for your support to make certain this Savannah tradition thrives.
