Float Your Boat returns this year with two nights of light-up fun for the whole family. Setting off from Marmong Point Marina on beautiful Lake Macquarie, Float Your Boat is an open challenge for boat owners to dress up their boats with lights and take part in a flotilla parade. Come see the magic and join in the festivities, or be a part of the spectacle!
On Friday evening the flotilla will sail down the West side of Lake Macquarie. Opposite the Brighton Apartments you can enjoy the Toronto Foreshore live site and winter extravaganza! Live music, food vendors, illuminated art installations and more between 5:00pm and 9:30pm.
Toronto Foreshore Park and Public Wharf is also the perfect viewing spot to see the parade only metres from your quality accommodation at The Brighton Apartments Toronto. The flotilla is scheduled to sail into Toronto Bay between 6:30 and 7:30pm.
Applications to be involved in this year’s Float Your Boat parade and competition are now open.
