Join us on December 7, 2024 for the 32nd Annual Holiday Boat Parade & Party at The Wharf. Celebrate the holidays with this iconic DC event that features 60+ beautifully decorated boats parading along the Washington Channel.

Party to live music from Yani the Band on District Pier while you sip on hot toddies and drinks from the Corona Cheer Garden. Get into the spirit with ornament decorating, holiday karaoke, s’mores at Camp Wharf, and visits with Santa.

A spectacular fireworks salute will conclude the boat parade at 8pm
