About this event

The Willamette fleet’s illuminated boats assemble at Riverplace Marina for two reviewed December departures. The December 8 route heads toward Milwaukie; December 9 follows the Johns Landing and Fremont Bridge route.

The organizer lists 7:00–9:00 PM for these departures and explains that river conditions can alter the route. This is a partial selection from the wider parade schedule, not a guarantee that boats leave this marina every night. Outdoor viewing, restaurant seating and commercial cruises have different arrangements; use the route-specific guide to choose a viewing point.
