Hundreds of boats. One floating party. Pure summer on the Sound.
This year’s theme brings the energy up another level with a Boat Decorating Contest. Dress your boat in your best patriotic style because prizes will be awarded to the top three boats.
This isn’t just a party, it’s a tradition and it supports a great cause.
