Save the date for the 2021 Johns Lake Holiday Boat Parade

December 12, 2021

Don’t miss the fun this year as we celebrate our 21st annual holiday boat parade! Last year we had a record forty-four (44) boats participate in the parade and many, many enthusiastic parade watchers along the shores of Johns Lake. It was a great night for all and with your help, we’re ready to make it even bigger and better this year! A big thank you to Tommy’s Florida who was our sponsor for prizes last year! This year we are looking for additional sponsors. Please contact Karen Quill at kquill@cfl.rr.com if you wish to become a sponsor.

We will publish more details on our website (see below) and Facebook Page. We will include both the parade route as well as how you can register your boat to win prizes. Please keep an eye out for more information coming soon!
Please come join us for the 21st Annual Johns Lake Holiday Boat Parade! Last year we had forty-four (44) boats in the parade and we hope for even more this year!
The parade will start at the furthest NW corner of Johns Lake and motor eastbound past as many neighborhoods as possible in a two-hour time frame.
We keep our boaters in mind when creating the route, since two-hours is quite a long time for people/families to be out on the water. We can’t motor past every single part of the lake but we do try to cover as much shore line as possible. Our plan is to change the boat-route on a semi-regular basis so that everyone has a fair shot at viewing it from their home.
We ask that all boats entering the parade register in advance. Click this link to register.
We’re happy to announce that once again, prizes will be awarded to our top three boats! More detail on prizes to come in future p
