Boat parade tonight!

Grab your lights and watercraft and join us for the 2021 boat parade tonight, September 18. Each year, Loch Lomond residents decorate their boats, pontoons, kayaks, or anything else the floats for a parade around the lake. Choose a theme, or just string lights around your watercraft to get festive as we celebrate the changing seasons on the water. For those who would rather participate from shore, you can watch from your dock as the sun starts to set, or join us at South Beach for a small potluck gathering.

Potluck gathering begins at South Beach at 6 p.m.
Participating boats line up at South Beach at 7 p.m.
Parade begins around the lake beginning 7:20 p.m.
