Lake Havasu City's Boat Parade of Lights was voted one of the Top 100 events in North America in 2004 by the American Bus Association. That year it was The only Top 100 event in Arizona. The London Bridge Yacht Club is proud to continue the tradition that has grown in Lake Havasu City over the past 25 years AND IN 2006, OUR PARADE OF LIGHTS WAS AGAIN LISTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 EVENTS IN NORTH AMERICA.

Boat Parade of Lights, Lake Havasu City, Arizona

The winter holidays, London Bridge, a boat parade, and a desert oasis might seem an unlikely combination, but in Lake Havasu City anything is possible. The city that made international headlines by bringing the famous bridge from London and building an authentic English village celebrates with a free procession of brilliantly lit boats that pass through the Bridgewater Channel, then glide past the English Village and under the world-famous London Bridge (and a desert moon), for judging in front of thousands of spectators. Each boat is dramatically decorated by teams of boaters from across the Southwestern region, and over the years the Boat Parade of Lights has evolved into one of the largest events of its kind. The procession is accompanied by music and radio broadcast narration.
