The 2020 Event

Charleston’s 39th Annual Holiday Parade of Boats, which was scheduled for Saturday evening, December 12, 2020, has been cancelled.

We are sorry to let you know that the city has decided not to move forward with the Holiday Parade of Boats this year due to concerns about the safety of spectators on shore during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our apologies to those who have invested time and effort into preparing for this event.
