For over 100 years PICYA has opened the yachting season with a parade of boats large and small.
* Blessing of the Fleet - 10:30am - 12:30pp (approx)
* Boat Parade - 12noon - 2pm (approx)
Each year a theme is selected and many boats decorated are to the year's theme. This year's theme, Myths and Legends, celebrates the folklore, mythology, and storytelling of maritime history.
The Decorated Boat Parade, a signature highlight of Opening Day, brings the theme to life through creatively adorned vessels and remains one of the most anticipated and visually defining elements of the event. The theme is open to many interpretations and skippers are encouraged to be creative.
Some boats will fly flags and streamers or just join in the parade not decorated. But if you don't have a boat, don't feel left out. There are great views of the festivities from the shore near Marina Green.
