Christmas Ships Parade: lit-up boats cruise the Willamette and Columbia rivers

Thu, Dec 3 – Sun, Dec 20 · check hours

Willamette and Columbia riverfronts (Portland, Vancouver, Lake Oswego and more)

Fleets of boats decked out in holiday lights sail evening routes on the Willamette (from RiverPlace Marina toward Johns Landing, Milwaukie and Lake Oswego) and the Columbia (from Gleason Boat Ramp toward the Vancouver waterfront, North Portland Harbor and Camas/Washougal) on most nights Dec 3–20. Watch from public riverbank parks along the route; most runs are 7–9pm. The schedule may change for weather or boating safety, so check each night's route on the official schedule.
