July 4th Boat Parade in Essex

The Chebacco Lake and Watershed Association will sponsor its annual Fourth of July Boat Parade on at 10am Sunday, July 4th.  All boats will meet at Gregory Island Cove on the South Side of Gregory Island (small cove) and proceed around the lake counterclockwise. Prizes will be awarded for Most Patriotic, Most Creative and best costume or costumes.

The parade can be viewed from anywhere along the shoreline. No pre-registration is required for those taking part — just show up. A prize is given to every boat who participates.
