Slideshow: Christmas Boat Parade & Fireworks
The 2013 Christmas Boat Parade took place on Saturday evening [Dec 7], bringing out people from around the island out to witness the island’s biggest holiday event of the year.
Beginning from the Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel, dozens of boats wound their way through Hamilton Harbour, offering a beautiful display of lights and holiday charm as they circled clockwise around White’s Island.
A casino-themed entry by Charles Crisson was named the Best Overall Boat, with competing vessels depicting everything from a peacock to more traditional holiday sights such as candy canes, reindeer, and Santa Claus, with one participant taking the opportunity to support a cause by displaying a red AIDS awareness ribbon.
