The 4th of July Boat Parade is a long-standing Lake Martin tradition, and it seems to grow every year.

Scores of boats slowly parade from Kowaliga Marina to Children’s Harbor in a festive and patriotic holiday display. Prizes are awarded for Tallest Flag, Largest Flag, Most Creative theme, and Most Patriotic Crew. Two prizes are awarded for each category.

First prize is a $150 Russell Marine gift certificate, and second prize is a $75 gift certificate.

Best Overall and Crew receives $500 in cash!
