Stockton Lighted Boat Parade

Stockton Yacht Club

(Stockton, CA) As the Holiday Season steers into full regala, it’s time for the Stockton Lighted Boat Parade for the families of Stockton and guests. We will once again see lighted, decorated boats as they make their annual voyage through the San Joaquin Delta towards downtown Stockton, on Saturday, December 5th at 5 pm. Hosted by the Stockton Yacht Club, Village West Yacht Club, and partners, this year marks the 45th Anniversary for the annual Lynn Hahn Memorial Delta Reflections Lighted Boat Parade. The parade of decorated, lighted boats of all sizes arrives downtown at approximately 6:30 pm, following the city’s tree lighting ceremony at Weber Point.

This year’s boat parade proceeds will be shared in partnership with the Hospice of San Joaquin, to provide support for those families and their loved ones for their end-of-life needs. Stockton boaters, marinas and multiple yacht clubs come together to not only provide a spectacular light show to downtown Stockton, but also provide support to the community.

“The boat parade is all about bringing our community together, and what is more important than providing comfort to our community members in their great time of need. Registration fees and donations raised this year will benefit Hospice of San Joaquin. Hospice was an integral part of caring for Mom at the end of her life and I know she would be proud and approving of what we’re accomplishing in our community. We are delighted to benefit this amazing organization.” stated Roger Hahn, co-coordinator of the event and Lynn Hahn’s son.

Thanks to our local boaters, the annual parade features decorated watercraft of all shapes and sizes and creates a very unique event for the Stockton community and the Delta. This year’s Grand Marshall’s boat will lead the way down the Delta Channel to start the procession of lighted watercraft to the delight of families and visitors as it makes its way on to Weber Point and Lake McLeod. The boats will make a parade-style turn around at Lake McLeod, creating an up-close lighted extravaganza that will dazzle kids of all ages. You may also get an early glimpse of some of the lighted boats on Friday, Dec. 4th at Village West Marina starting at 5 pm, and share in pre-parade family festivities.

The boat parade will coincide with the lighting of the holiday tree at Weber Point. The park will open at 4pm with the tree lighting ceremony commencing at 5:30pm.
