🎄✨ Get ready for one of DC’s most magical nights of the year! Join us Saturday, December 6, 2025 for the 33rd Annual Holiday Boat Parade & Party at The Wharf — a festive celebration filled with lights, music, and holiday cheer! We’ll meet at Whitlows for some bites, drinks and to socialize before heading out to district pier for the parade and party

🛥️ Watch 60+ dazzlingly decorated boats sparkle and glide across the Washington Channel, bringing the holiday spirit to life in true DC style.

🎅 Warm up with hot toddies and seasonal drinks from the Corona Cheer Garden, roast s’mores by the fire at Camp Wharf, and unleash your inner elf with ornament decorating and holiday karaoke! Don’t forget to say hi to Santa and snap some pics by the Jack Daniel’s Barrel Tree and the 45-ft illuminated Christmas Tree on District Pier.

🎶 Keep the vibes merry with live music from My Hero Zero, then stick around after the 8pm fireworks finale for an epic after-party right on the pier!

✨ Event Schedule:
🎉 5:00–8:00pm: Holiday fun all around The Wharf (drinks, s’mores, crafts, Santa & more!)
🚤 7:00pm: Boat Parade begins, hosted by the one and only Tommy McFly
🎆 8:00pm: Fireworks Finale — followed by the after-party with My Hero Zero!

Bring your friends, your holiday spirit, and your camera — this is one DC tradition you don’t want to miss! ❤️🎁
