A HUGE Thank you to everyone who came out in their boats or watched along shore! The first Pirate parade was. Big hit! We counted about 15 boats that did a great job with the pirate theme! 🏴‍☠️

Next year will be even better next year!

Here are some pictures we got of the parade. We would love to see photos you may have gotten too!

The Inaugural Boat Parade made the WCCO news!

The event was slated to happen last year, but the river was too low.

We are so excited for the Inaugural Mississippi River Boat Parade.... Pirate Style! ☠️

This Saturday, June 18th

The lineup will start at the Anoka/Champlin 169 bridge for boats at 11am (The head boat will have a red flag) Everyone will jump into line, no particular order.

We will head out by 11:15am going West toward Ramsey/Dayton up river, turning around after Elsie Stephens Park in Dayton and heading down river back toward Champlin/Anoka. We will pass the 169 bridge and head toward C**n Rapids and then turning around to head back up river toward Anoka, ending at Peninsula Park.

PLEASE NOTE: Peninsula Park has been rented out by a private party so we can not encourage people to go there for viewing. PLEASE be respectful of the private party!

*** Public view areas have been marked on the map below with a yellow start and Orange writing. You will have to google them to find more specifics of the locations. We don't have any more knowledge of the locations than Google, We have lots to do before the parade, so we will not be able to answer location questions.

If you are having a boat in the parade join our group for boat participants!

We are SOOO excited to see all of you cheering us on! Feel free to dress in your Pirate garb as well! Arrrggghhhh! ☠️☠️☠️
