The Clear Lake area is gearing up for one of its most beloved holiday traditions—the 64th Annual Christmas Boat Lane Parade, presented by the Cities of Clear Lake Shores, Kemah, League City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, and Webster. Each year, more than 100,000 spectators line the waterways to enjoy the dazzling spectacle of brightly lit sailboats and powerboats parading through Clear Lake and into Galveston Bay. With festive decorations, fireworks, and an electric holiday atmosphere, this event has become one of the region’s most anticipated celebrations.

Saturday, December 13, 2025 – Parade Day

9:00 AM – Mandatory Skipper’s Meeting
South Shore Harbour Resort
2500 South Shore Blvd., League City, TX 77573
At least one representative from each participating boat must attend. If shirts were pre-ordered during registration, they can be picked up at this meeting. Early ordering is recommended as shirts sell out quickly!

6:00 PM – Parade Begins
The parade officially launches with fireworks sounding in Nassau Bay, signaling boaters to begin their journey. Participants may start in the Nassau Bay Lagoon or from the South Shore Harbour Marina.

Boats from both starting points merge after traveling through the Constellation Pointe/Davis Road Canal and South Shore Harbour. From there, the procession continues the full length of Clear Lake, concluding through the Kemah Channel and past the iconic Kemah Boardwalk, where thousands of spectators gather for a close-up view of the illuminated boats.

7:30 PM – Parade Visible in Seabrook and Kemah
By this time, viewers in Seabrook and at the Kemah Boardwalk can expect the parade to pass by, offering some of the best vantage points of the evening.

Sunday, December 14, 2025 – Awards Brunch

Participants will receive two brunch tickets with their registration. Additional tickets can be purchased prior to the event through the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. The brunch includes reserved seating, sponsor gift bags, parade photo and video highlights, and award presentations for standout boats and decorations.

Boat owners from near and far are encouraged to register and be part of this unforgettable holiday tradition. Clear Lake Area Chamber members can also support the event through sponsorships or by contributing items to the Skipper Goodie Bags.
