Charleston Holiday Boat Parade, Dec 10th, 2022

Join a Lowcountry holiday tradition, the Charleston holiday boat parade, as this display of lighted and festive boats proceeds from the Cooper River, through the Charleston Harbor and into the Ashley River. This family-friendly event will become a holiday tradition for everyone.

View the procession along Charleston’s waterfront, or decorate your own boat and join the parade. The festivities begin along the shores of Mount Pleasant at 5:00 p.m., and viewing from the downtown peninsula starts around 7:30 p.m.

The event is free and is produced by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs.
