“Where should I watch the Lighted Boat Parade From?”

There are several spots to get a good view of the Lighted Boat Parade from. It starts at Tidelands (Anchor Street) Park and the turnaround point is the South T Pier – that covers about a mile of waterfront.  Along the way there are numerous parks, piers, and docks around and between the businesses.  Another option, if tables are still available, is to watch the Lighted Boat Parade from one of the many waterfront restaurants with views of the bay.
