The holiday season at Lake Anna will be extra bright this year as the 2024 Lighted Boat Parades both take place on Saturday, December 7th. These beloved annual events promise to light up the waters, offering a festive display of holiday spirit for both participants and spectators.

The Annual Lighted Boat Parade departs from Tim’s Restaurant at about 5:15pm and cruises past the state park as well as multiple marinas before docking at The Lake Anna Taphouse for additional festivities.

The Cove Restaurant also hosts an annual boat parade on the same night, with their decorated vessels leaving from The Cove docks at 6pm.

Boat captains are all encouraged to participate in either event, with prizes being offered for the winners.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
