The Annual Bribie Island Christmas Lights Boat Parade is being held on Saturday the 10th of December where boaties will light up the Pacific Harbour canals with their decorated boats for thousands of residents and visitors to watch and enjoy.
This event is organised by local volunteers from the Pacific Harbour Residential Community Association (PHRCA) while boat participants are navigated safely through the canals by the very generous help of the Bribie Island Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR). “This years event has been made possible thanks to our main sponsors including Bribie Realty, AquaCapture and Divl Councillor, Brooke Savige”. tells PHRCA board member. Ritchie Bloomfield.
The day will start at 1.30pm with the Bribie Island VMR cruising the canal with Santa and his helper delivering lolly bags to the waiting children and maybe a Schmako or two for the waiting dogs. Just listen out for Santa’s bell.
From 4.30pm til 7.30pm, the Munch Markets will offer a great variety of stall and food holders at the Pacific Harbour Marina which will be a great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping and grab some dinner before the main boat parade at 7pm.
Participants will gather around the main canal adjacent to the Pacific Harbour Marina from 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start to begin their journey through the canals. There are plenty of public viewing areas this year for residents to watch the parade from including Kakadu Beach, Sea Eagle Park, Sunset Park and the Harbourside Marina.
