A local Catholic priest and Protestant minister have graciously offered to perform the “Blessing”.

The boats will line up in Clear Lake by 1:15 p.m. with the parade beginning at 2:00 p.m. Following the parade, there will be an awards ceremony at 4:30 p.m. at the Boardwalk Events Plaza, with prizes or trophies for the best decorated boats. Show your support of this local industry and our community, while having fun at the same time!
