THE LONDON BRIDGE YACHT CLUB IS PROUD TO HAVE PRESENTED LAKE HAVASU CITY'S 27th ANNUAL (2009) BOAT PARADE OF LIGHTS.

THE THEME FOR THE 2009 PARADE WAS "A HAVASU STAR-SPANGLED CHRISTMAS". THE PARADE WAS LED BY A GROUP OF WARTIME VETERANS SERVING AS GRAND MARSHALLS.

PARADE ENTRIES WERE JUDGED ON SATURDAY NIGHT BY AN INDEPENDENT PANEL OF FIVE JUDGES, SELECTED FROM AMONG COMMUNITY LEADERS AND VETERANS OF VARIOUS WARS WHO RESIDE IN THE COMMUNITY. FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF THE GRAND MARSHALLS AND JUDGES, CLICK HERE.

EACH NIGHT'S PARADE BEGAN WITH A SKIPPERS MEETING AT THE LAKE HAVASU MARINA. FOLLOWING THE SATURDAY NIGHT PARADE, THE LONDON BRIDGE YACHT CLUB HOSTED A 'CHILI PARTY' IN THE MARINA PARKING LOT FOR ALL PARADE PARTICIPANTS.

THE OBJECTIVE OF EVERY PARADE IS TO HAVE FUN AND TO REPRESENT THE SPIRIT OF OUR CITY. ALL BOAT ENTRIES ARE WELCOME, NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL AND NO MATTER HOW ELABORATE. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS A BOAT AND A FEW LIGHTS.

OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR THIS EVENT PROVIDED BY LAKE HAVASU'S TV-45.

THE LONDON BRIDGE YACHT CLUB CONSIDERS EVERY ENTRY IN THE PARADE A WINNER AND WE SINCERELY HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE RETURN IN 2010 FOR WHAT PROMISES TO BE AN EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER PARADE.
