Paddlers get into the spirit during Raquette Lake’s annual boat parade.
They are enthusiastic about welcoming Party Barges, Runabouts, and No-Octane watercraft. No matter the vessel, as long as it floats, it’s a boat; participants are encouraged to get creative with decorations.
The event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together on the water and showcase the timeless charm and customs of living on Raquette Lake.
Stick around after the parade for the annual fireworks display.
The Boat Parade is a highlight of the multi-day annual Durant Days festival in Raquette Lake. Registration forms are available at Burke’s Marina and Bird’s Marine in Raquette Lake.
