Seattle Easter Boat Parade was on Saturday, April 3, 2021. This was our 2nd Annual ‘Easter Boat Float Parade.’ Boats were tricked out and decorated in colorful Easter Themes; there was a lot of hot pink, purple, blue, yellow and mint green blow-up bunnies, tiny bird, easter eggs, a green festive dinosaur, balloons, creative decorations and more. Of course there were some humans in bunny costumes on the bow; Seattle boaters get into it!
Per usual, the Seattle Easter Boat Parade welcomes all vessels; powerboats, yachts, sailboats, (Although, no sailboats in 2021, maybe the bridge lifts turned them off?!?!) sport fishers, commercial fishing boats, charter boats, workboats, tugs, superyachts and PNW research vessels. We always encourage skiffs, tenders, dinghies, kayaks, rowboats, and paddle boarders; please bring up the rear of the parade at the tail end. https://seattleeasterboatparade.com/
