The University Yacht Club has been holding its Boating Parade of Lights for over 20 years and the event will take place again on Saturday, 16th December. The parade was opened to all boaters on the Lake in 2005 when the UYC Maritime Foundation took over the event. Once again this year, lake skippers are encouraged to decorate their boats in holiday themes to compete for various prizes and plaques. A panel of judges from area lake businesses will decide the best in category for best overall, houseboats over 55 feet, houseboats under 55 feet, cruisers, sailboats, and runabouts/pontoons. Boats will begin forming in Flowery Branch Bay at 4:30.The parade route, lasting about 2 hours, begins in front of Aqualand, will continue toward Buford Dam turning just before Emerald Pointe, and return past the judge’s stand at Holiday Marina. For land based viewers, the parade can be seen from Van Pugh North and Big Creek parks. Regular park admission fees apply. Boaters who wish to view the parade from the water should remain outside of the parade route. The UYC Maritime Foundation is an independent 501 (c) 3 charitable organization dedicated to providing education, safety and sportsmanship in the boating community.
