Lake Havasu City Annual
Holiday Boat Parade of Lights

Committee makes preparations for Boat Parade of Lights

LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. (2007)– The Boat Parade of Lights, one of the city’s signature and most popular events, is set for its 25th Anniversary Run December 7 and 8, the first full weekend in December. Entries have already been coming in from the community and beyond, but there is always room for more. “Last year was one of the largest turnouts for the parade we’ve had, and we would love to see even more this year,” said Tammy Kastelz, chairperson for the event.
 
Kastelz is an active member of the London Bridge Yacht Club, which for the second year in the row has coordinated the event. “It’s a lot of work to make the event happen, but when you see all those boats, it’s definitely worth it,” she said.
 
Anyone interested in participating can download the entry form from their website, www.lhcboatparadeoflights.com. Forms can also be picked up at West Marine, the Visitor Center at the entrance to the English Village, the Nautical Inn and Lake Havasu Marina.
 
Another tradition started last year by the club and carried over for this year is looking to the community for judges. “We did a contest last year where people could enter their name to be a judge,” Kastelz said. “It was so popular that this year we’re going to draw two names.” Entry forms are located at the Visitor Center, Mohave Wireless, West Marine and the Naked Turtle Bar and Grill. The deadline for entries is November 24. The two winners will decide the winning entries along side District III Mohave County Supervisor Buster Johnson, Partnership for Economic Development President/CEO Gary Kellogg and Lake Havasu City Vice-mayor Margaret Nyberg.
