Downtown Hampton Lighted Boat Parade sails into town December 6, 2008
Boaters interested in participating should contact the Downtown Hampton Development Partnership
Hampton, Virginia (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 11, 2008 -- Experience the joy and warmth of the holiday season as the 20th annual Downtown Hampton Lighted Boat Parade, presented by Old Point National Bank, returns to Southeastern Virginia on December 6, 2008. Over 30 boats are expected to participate in this FREE nautical light show.
Beginning at 7:15 p.m., this highly anticipated parade of illuminated power and sail boats will be visible from anywhere along the Hampton River. However, spectators wanting to hear the narration will want to find a spot near the Cousteau Society. Those who don't have a boat (but want to join the action) can board the double-decked tour boat, the Miss Hampton II. Spectators interested in riding on the Miss Hampton II are encouraged to make reservations by calling 757/722-9102. The admission is an unwrapped toy that will be donated to Toys for Tots.
Captains who wish to enter their vessel in the parade are encouraged to contact Gregory Harrison at 757/727-1276. The estimated length of the LBP is 30-45 minutes.
Partially bordered by the Hampton Roads harbor and Chesapeake Bay, Hampton, with the 344,000 sq. ft. Hampton Roads Convention Center, is located in the center of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. Hampton is the site of America's first continuous English-speaking settlement and is home to such visitor attractions as the Virginia Air & Space Center and Riverside IMAX ® Theater, the Cousteau Society, Hampton History Museum, harbor tours and cruises, Hampton University Museum, Fort Monroe, award-winning Hampton Coliseum, The American Theatre, among others. Hampton was twice-named All-America City, the nation's oldest and most prominent community recognition award.
