Richmond Boat Parade of Lights

​

Each year, boaters decorate their boats and converge on the James River for a parade that marks the beginning of the holiday season. Grab the family and gather at one of the several viewing sites: The Rocketts Landing Wharf, Virginia Capital Trail, Ancarrow's Landing and Libby Hill Park (from a considerable distance), to see the boats and enjoy the waterfront holiday entertainment. Free event.
