Is your boat still in the water? The 20^th Annual Mystic Holiday Boat Parade and Toy Drive will take place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. If your sailboat, motor boat, dinghy, or row boat is still in the water, we invite you to decorate your boat with holiday lights and join us on Saturday, November 25^th for your chance to dazzle the judges. You do not want to miss being a part of this beloved Downtown Mystic tradition. 

Decorated vessels will parade down the Mystic River at 6 p.m. and return to the Mystic River Park, where spectators and judges will be gathered. Boats will be judged on creativity and team spirit. There will be prizes for 'Most Charismatic Crew', 'Innovative Vessel', 'Best Dressed Vessel', 'Most Holiday Spirit' and 'Miss Mystic Vessel of Grandeur'.

Bring your spirits, your vessel, and your crew, for a healthy dose of holiday cheer. The cost to enter is a new or gently used unwrapped toy for the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center.  Participants may register for the event online at mysticchamber.org or for more information, please contact Aimee Harvey, Events Manager, at the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce at (860) 572-9578 or email at aimeeharvey@mysticchamber.org.
