The Christmas Ship ParadeThe Christmas Ship Parade has begun.  Now in it's 56th year, the Columbia and Willamette Rivers  make wonderful hosts to view all the lovely Christmas ships which will be floating along Porltand, OR great two rivers during the month of December, 2010.

NOT to be confused with the Christmas BOAT Parade held in Newport, OR, the Christmas Ship Parade is Portland's tradition, great fun . . . and a free event!!

The boat owners take their time to decorate, and operate the boats, which can range from 15 ft. to 65 ft.  There are, typically, 50 - 60 boats in the Christmas Ship Parade, and the best places to see the parade are in the local restaurants and hotels . . . which help sponsor the event.

The Christmas Ship Parade runs (floats) from December 9th - December 21st, 2010

THANK YOU for keeping the wonderful holiday spirit of giving alive!  We sure do apprecaite the Christmas Ship Parade each year!

Traditions like this are fabulous! Thanks for sharing. Our rivers & lakea turns to ice - but not always solid enough to be safe!

Very cool photos!  I wish I lived closer to water so I can partake in some of these boat parades!  Very different to me!

Hi Marilyn . . . maybe they can do the "on ice" version?? 

Hey Renee -- Yeah, landlocked Nevada.  The rivers here, and their tributories are great.  Some day, I want to learn how to kayak!!  Maybe I'll decorate my kayak one year!!  And paddle?!?

Carla--It gets cold in Oregon this time of year, right?  These boat owners are willing to do this in the cold?  Wow!  That would be a great tradition to start for anyone living near a body of water (me).  Can't believe I have never heard of this!!

Carla  I have two favorites - the boat with the train blowing smoke and the one with Santa fishing.  That is some very special river parade

Hi Pat . . . Maybe that would be a good tradition to start.  56 years ago it started here with only 1 boater . . . then it grew!  You can tell 'em it was all your idea ;-0

Hey Karen -- HO HO HO Santa fishing is a cutie, and playing golf.  But there's so many to see and it's so much more beautiful in person with the lights bouncing off the water.
