Get Ready! Boat Parade Set for Saturday, July 5th, 2025 on Hand Lake

Mark your calendars and get those decorations ready!

The annual Hand Lake Boat Parade is happening Saturday, July 5th, 2025 at 1:00 PM Central Time!

Rain date: Sunday, July 6th, 2025

If you’re planning to join in the fun, motor your decorated pontoon or boat to Samuelson’s Bay by 12:45 PM for judging. Once the judges have made their picks, the parade kicks off right after, so don’t be late ☺️

Whether you’re participating or watching from shore, it’s one of the most colorful, community-filled events of the summer. Flags, streamers, creative themes… we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this year.

See you on the water!
