2023 Christmas Ships Schedule
December 1-17, 2023
More info: christmasships.org

It’s the most wonderful time of Year and the Christmas Ships Parade is getting ready to set sail for the 69th year!

We are busy testing the lights, updating the displays and polishing our boats, all to get ready to shine for you!

The Christmas Ship fleet members are looking forward to a fantastic season. We have some new boats, some new displays and are bringing back some old favorites as well. All fleet members are enthusiastic volunteers, paying all their own expenses, and ready to put on a show for you. Fun fact, some of our participants have been parading for more than 40 years!

Experience wonder, create traditions and make memories as our spectacularly illuminated fleet glides past. A treasured Northwest tradition, we are honored to be part our your holiday celebrations. Plan your viewing now! See the schedule tab for best viewing locations.
