Christmas Boat Parades in Hawaii
There are two Christmas boat parades in Hawaii
and both of them are on the island of Oahu. One
is a few miles west of Waikiki in the Downtown Honolulu Harbor
and one is a few miles east of Waikiki in Hawaii Kai.
Honolulu Christmas Boat Parade
Every December the Hawaii Yacht Club and the
Waikiki Yacht Club present a Christmas Boat Parade
in Honolulu Harbor that can be viewed from the
Aloha Tower Marketplace and other spots
on the Honolulu Harbor waterfront.
The parade route begins at the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor
and it proceeds west to Honolulu Harbor, passing
by the Aloha Tower Marketplace twice, and returning
to the Ala Wai Harbor. More then 30 sailboats and
power boats typically participate in the parade.
The Hawaii Yacht Club has been organizing their annual Christmas
Boat parade for more then 14 years and in 2008
the Waikiki Yacht Club joined them as a co-sponsor.
The 2008 Honolulu Harbor Christmas Boat Parade took
place on December 13, 2008 from 6:00 p.m.
to 9:00 p.m. For information about the
next annual event contact the Hawaii Yacht Club,
the Waikiki Yacht Club, or the Aloha Tower Marketplace.
