Q: when do boats have to report at the starting point?
A: Boaters can stage in their locations as early as 2:30 pm but must be in their staging location by 4:30 pm. Since boaters are docked - their guests can meet up with the boat at a later time (based on their number in the parade.Q: what time does the parade typically begin?
A: The parade starts at 6:30 p.m. with the fireworks barge announcing the start of the parade.Q: what is the time commitment for the parade - in other words, how long does it take boats to complete the route of the parade?
A: The moment you leave the staging dock - the parade should take 1 1/2 hrs to reach lake Santa BarbaraMany thanks!
