Annual Boat Parade 

July 3, 2025 at 8 PM

Vote for Your Favorite

Each lot will have the chance to vote. Only 1 vote per lot will be accepted. Votes must be placed between 8:00 pm and 9:30 pm on July 3, 2025 to be counted.  

Winners will be announced via the Upper Silver Lake Facebook group. Trophies will be given to 1st-3rd place. There will also be an award in the "Anything but a Pontoon" category. Recipients will be able to keep their trophies to display in their cottages! 


The 2025 Annual Boat Parade is Thursday, July 3

Participating boats will meet at the island at 8 PM and line up behind the Eagle Boat. Celebrate America’s birthday with your best patriotic decorations, and remember your lot number must be displayed large enough for people on shore to see

The parade will go through Sunshine Bay. Since Arrowhead Bay is too tight for the larger pontoon boats, the parade will go as close to the mouth of the bay as possible but will not enter the bay.
