Join us on December 6, 2025 for the 33rd Annual Holiday Boat Parade & Party at The Wharf. Celebrate the holidays with this iconic DC event that features 60+ beautifully decorated boats parading along the Washington Channel. Party to live music from My Hero Zero while you sip on hot toddies and drinks from the Corona Cheer Garden. Get into the spirit with ornament decorating, holiday karaoke, s’mores at Camp Wharf, and visits with Santa. Don’t forget to bring your camera to take photos in front of the Jack Daniel’s Barrel Tree and 45ft illuminated Christmas tree on District Pier. A spectacular fireworks salute will conclude the boat parade at 8pm but be sure to stick around for the after party on District Pier with music from My Hero Zero.
