Savannah Boat Parade of Lights

Join us… One and ALL… Saturday, November 30th, 2024 for the 23rd Annual FREE Savannah Boat Parade of Lights FUNDRAISER. This 20plus year tradition has been enjoyed by generations of locals and visitors alike. The Savannah Boat Parade of Lights 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 and their families, in need, in Savannah since 1949! We will be donating proceeds raised by the parade to Greenbriar.

The Parade of Lights, led by the Georgia Queen Riverboat, will begin its voyage from The Dock at Eastern Wharf, in front of the Thompson Savannah Hotel, Our Premier Sponsor. After leaving the dock, the captains will circle past the Convention Center to the Talmadge Bridge…continue down the Savannah River past Plant Riverside District, along River Street, slowly passing the panel of judges at the Dock at Eastern Wharf, where their history and information will be announced … And… Repeat the circle… ending back at the Eastern Wharf Dock.

The Park at Eastern Wharf is planning a wonderful event to coincide with the festivities of the parade! Directly following the event, please join the Official Parade Afterparty at the beautiful Thompson Savannah Hotel.

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 fundraising tradition thrives.
