“As announced previously, the City will be hosting the 2022 City Christmas Boat Parade on Saturday, December 10th after a brief hiatus.

“Additional trophies will be awarded for the following categories: Best Community Message, Most Original, Most Humorous and Children’s Choice.
“The City plans to host the City Christmas Boat Parade on alternate years so as not to conflict with the Corporation of St. George’s Boat Parade.”
The City’s Senior Events & Marketing Coordinator Mrs. Tamara Smith said: “We are really excited to be able to bring this much-loved event and family tradition back to the City of Hamilton as part of our Christmas programme of events. To see the harbour lit up with thousands of festive lights is a truly spectacular sight and brings the magic of the holidays to people of all ages.”
The spokesperson said, “The rain date for the boat parade will be Sunday, December 11th.
“Entry into the viewing village and kidszone activities at No.1 Car Park will be free of charge. There will be a host of delicious food and snack options available for purchase as well as warm beverages to keep you cozy while you watch the boats.”
HSBC Head of Wealth and Personal Banking, Tanya Bule stated, “HSBC is proud to partner with the City of Hamilton to bring this festive favorite event back to Hamilton. The City Christmas Boat Parade has always been a highlight of the holiday calendar, getting everyone in the Christmas spirit, and we are delighted to sponsor it for 2022.”
