A Unique Vancouver Tradition!

November 30th, December 1-23rd, 2007
*The Carol Ship Parade will be from December 1st to December 23rd only*

The local waters of Vancouver come alive each holiday season with the luminous colour of the Carol Ship Parade of Lights!

The Carol Ships 'Parade of Lights' began  45 years ago with one boat decorated with Christmas lights in Coal Harbour off the Bayshore Inn (now the Westin Bayshore Resort & Marina).

The Parade is a flotilla of brightly coloured vessels, lit up on the outside and decked out in their Christmas best on the inside. This holiday tradition features a combination of private and public vessels all decorated with in excess of a total of 150,000 lights. It is the only time of the year that vessels are allowed to display coloured exterior lighting.

Participating vessels meet at Canada Place around 7:00 p.m. before setting off in Parade formation, on that night's designated  route. Routes can include into False Creek, past North and West Vancouver, into Deep Cove or up to Port Moody.
