Channel Islands Harbor Presents the Parade of Frights
CHANNEL ISLANDS— The Channel Islands Harbor will host the inaugural Parade of Frights on Oct. 29 from 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. The event is a non-competitive, Halloween-themed boat parade that will start with a pre-parade carnival and end with the parade starting at 6 p.m.
Ventura County Harbor Department Director Michael Tripp said the introduction of the Parade of Frights is another way for the boating community to come together while helping create a show for attendees watching from land.
"The Harbor is full of rich traditions that have helped us form a unique identity on the Central Coast and in Ventura County," said Tripp in a press release. "We would love it if boaters would register, rally and dress up with their family and friends, and light up the night with decked-out, Halloween-themed vessels."
Vessels interested in joining the parade will need to fill out a form that can be found at https://bit.ly/3LiRQPz.
Before the Parade of Frights boat parade, various organizations and businesses will offer Halloween-related events, activities, and discounts, which is still to be announced. Stay tuned at https://www.channelislandsharbor.org/event/2022-parade-of-frights/.
