Christmas Boat Parade
The Annual Christmas Boat Parade remains one of the area’s great traditions, bringing together family and friends to celebrate the Holiday Season. It is the pleasure of the Halifax River Yacht Club to organize and promote this event on behalf of the Daytona Beach community. Proceeds benefit the Veterans Support Fund (veterans support fund.org)
The success of the parade is dependent upon sponsorships and donations from the community businesses and individuals.
We are seeking parade sponsors, monetary donations and/or other contributions that can be part of the Captains bags or awarded as part of the prizes. Parade sponsors and donors are recognized in all online promotions. All sponsorship money and donated prizes are used exclusively for the event and do not support the Halifax River Yacht Club. Click here for Sponsorship & Donation Information.
You do not need to be a HRYC member to take part in the parade!
All are welcome to participate. The entry fee is only $20 and, if this is your first time entering, the registration fee is waived. Click here for Entry Form. Captains meetings will be held in the Club’s Chart Room at 6 p.m. on Thursday, 12/19 & Friday, 12/20. Attendance at one of these meetings is mandatory.
