About The savannah Lighted Boat Parade:
Every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, friends and families gather at the waterfront for a dazzling spectacle of lights on the Savannah River. Led by the Georgia Queen Riverboat, over 30 boats adorned with extravagant holiday light displays will loop twice from Eastern Wharf to the Talmadge Bridge and back. Enjoy the Crafty, Fun, Creative, Whimsically decorated vessels that these Captains and their Crews work so diligently on!
