    CALL FOR BOATS AND CANOES
    The 7th annual Kailua Kalikimaka Lighted Boat Parade returns to Kailua Bay on Sunday December 11 starting at 6 pm following the Kokua Kailua monthly stroll and the holiday concert. Registered boats and canoes line up near Kailua Pier and wind their way around Kailua Bay. Spectators can view the parade of lighted boats from anywhere in the Village including the seawall.
     
    Kailua Village Business Improvement District invites sailboats, powerboats, canoes and kayaks to come be a part of this festive holiday celebration.
     
    The Lighted Boat Parade does not cost anything to enter and all entries will be eligible for cash prizes. The judges will be standing on the Kailua Pier with a few scouts along the coast. Each boat will be scored upon the following categories:
    1. Boat Theme – what is the theme and how well it’s represented on the entire boat
    2. Boat Lights – how well is the boat lit up
    3. Special Effects – blinking lights, moving holiday figures
    4. Crew participation – holiday outfits supporting theme
    5. Overall Appearance
     
    Dust off those lights and come be a part of the holly jolly 7th annual Kailua Kalikimaka holiday celebration!
