The 2nd Annual Cherry Blossom Parade of Lights will take place on April 8th, on the Washington Waterfront during the 2000 Cherry Blossom Festival. Viewing the cherry trees in blossom is often reward enough; we would also like to invite you to a Sunset party at the Capital Yacht Club at 5:30, prior to setting off the parade.

The Parade of Lights will begin at the Municipal Pier at 8:00 p.m. The boats will parade in the channel, along the Water Street waterfront. Following the parade, a reception will be held at Capital Yacht Club for all participants.

Both Gangplank Marina and Capital Yacht Club are offering complimentary slips for participants who do not berth their vessels on the waterfront. (Please note that slips at Gangplank Marina have one 50 amp outlet at each slip and Capital Yacht Club has one 50 amp and one 30 amp outlet at each slip. If you require two 30 amp outlets, bring your own adapters.)

Unlike the Annual Holiday Parade of Lights, WWA is not offering prizes for the best-decorated boat. Instead, though, we will donate white lights to all participating vessels. In order to have these lights available to those who want them in time, we urge you to sign up early.

To register, email (preferred) or call PRYCA Member at Large Andrea Storey at awstorey28@aol.com. Phone 301-572-7457. Please include vessel name, captain's name, home club or marina, and contact information: email address and phone number.
