There are other ways to participate in the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights besides entering your boat in the Parade. Each year we ask for ‘picket boat’ volunteers to help our Parade entrants stay on the predetermined route.

Picket boat volunteers must arrive in their own boat prior to the Parade start time, and each boat will be assigned a designated station to drop anchor. The dedication and commitment of our volunteers is what makes this not-for-profit, free event all possible!

For more information or to sign up to be a picket boat volunteer, please Bill at cdredwards@cox.net.
