It's time again for the annual Olympia Yacht Club Parade of Lighted Ships, a beloved Olympia tradition! Enjoy the festivities at the Port Plaza starting about 5 p.m. where Santa will be handing out candy canes (while supplies last), Dancing Goats will have coffee and cocoa available, and the Capital High School Choir will be performing. Then get ready when the parade starts at 6 p.m., to cheer on your favorite boat! The parade is sponsored by OYC, and all South Sound boaters are encouraged to participate. This year's theme is "Baking Spirits Bright" (think gingerbread houses & cookies, gumdrops and swirled lollipops). To register your boat in the parade and for more information about participating go to www.theolympiayachtclub.com and look for the Lighted Ships Parade link at the bottom of the home page.
