2019 Lighted Christmas Boat Parade
Club Cruceros Fleet Captain "Sea Otter" Jimmy Loberg organized the fleet of almost 50 boats into an unforgettable evening. This was the second year for the lighted Christmas boat parade and even bigger than the first. More boats participated and more locals showed up to watch. The estimate of the number of people crowded on the Malecon to watch the parade and enjoy the fireworks was over 45,000. Thank you to all of the cruisers who decorated their boats and went out for a great evening.
The following text and photos were taken from the Facebook page of Rubén Muñoz Álvarez, the Mayor of La Paz.
"It is with great pride and satisfaction I share some images of the second Christmas Nautical Parade. More than 45 thousand attendees enjoyed the parade of boats decorated with Christmas lights. I hope this event will continue for upcoming generations as a tradition that frames the holidays because I think the projection is such that it will attract more tourism and support the economy for local businesses.
I appreciate the huge effort of all the people involved in the organization of the parade, especially to the Director of Municipal Tourism, Eduardo Van Wormer, and to the participants with the vessels that enthusiastically joined this event."
