More than a dozen boats will be parading through Newport Harbor on Friday, November 24th during the Annual Newport Harbor Illuminated Boat Parade.

The parade is scheduled to start at 6:15 pm, with Bowen’s Wharf Block Party and other festivities taking place from 4 pm to 8 pm. Bowen’s Wharf boutiques and restaurants will be offering free hot cider, in-store specials and more alongside live music while the flotilla motors past.

The Landing and Lobster Bar will reopen for the evening festivities.

Boats will congregate at the causeway Newport Shipyard, then travel south into the channel past Bowen’s Wharf and the other wharves. They’ll turn west around Ann St. Pier near Ida Lewis then north up the east side of Goat Island and either go to Newport Yacht Club or back to their own moorings.

For more information and updates, visit the Facebook Event.
