THE STONE HARBOR FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS takes place Saturday evening along Stone Harbor’s bayfront. Decorated boats will gather at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor at 8pm, proceed to the south end of the island, and then parade northward along the bayfront. Watch the parade from any bayfront location or street end. The parade concludes at the 81st Street Municipal Marina, where a huge viewing party begins at 7pm and lasts until the parade concludes. Food trucks will be on hand at the viewing party, and it’s a great time. To register your boat, decorated dock, or to attend the after party at YCSH, call 609-368-1201.
