CHRISTMAS SHIP CELEBRATIONS
December 1-23, 2007

Christmas Ships at Seattle Parks

The festival is a ship-to-shore holiday celebration that has become a local Northwest tradition for 58 years. It runs nightly December 1-23. The Spirit of Seattle is the Official Christmas Ship™ and is decorated with hundreds of shimmering white lights and festive holiday garland.

Aboard ship, some of the finest Northwest choirs sing holiday greetings. These performances are broadcast via speakers to bonfire sites and to other boats participating in the parade. On shore, thousands of people, young and old alike, gather around roaring bonfires to share the joy of the season.

On the water, other decorated boats join in the festivities by following the Christmas Ship™, forming the largest holiday flotilla in the world, cruising to over 45 waterfront communities.
