The History

It all started 30 years ago thanks to Mr. Dick Blakeslee from the Oar Steak and Seafood Grill. Taking inspiration from the Ft. Lauderdale event (only cooler!), this annual tradition draws in thousands of families to kick off the Holiday season. The boats are on display for free public viewing at Sandspit Park (Davis Park Ferry Terminal) and FINS (Watch Hill terminal), as well as at various waterfront restaurants including Drift 82, The Oar, Baja Boathouse, and The Harbor Crab. Our official judges carefully observe the boats competing for numerous trophies at the Sandspit.

A Very Merry Weekend

Saturday Night, November 23rd

Please join us for a wonderful evening at the People’s Choice Award Election. Come down to the Harbor Crab and Baja Boathouse to view and vote on your favorite dressed up boat. The viewing is from 5–9, and there is a water taxi to move between marinas so you only have to park once.

It’s an excellent, free, family orientated night out.

Sunday Night, November 24th

On Sunday 11/24/24, the Patchogue River Christmas Boat Parade will begin at 5:00 PM. Also at the same time WUSB 90.1 FM, “The most dangerous station in the nation”, will be broadcasting Christmas Music to enjoy while you watch the parade. For two hours, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM we will be matching our 2024 theme of “A ROCKSTAR CHRISTMAS” with Christmas songs from the greatest rock and roll bands in history. Pre-program your phones to 90.1 FM so you don’t miss a minute of it. If you have a favorite Rock and Roll Christmas Song, please email it to prcbpa@gmail.com



Get there early for the last best night on the river for the year.



Parade Viewing Sites
