Daffodil Boat Parade Hits the Thea Foss Waterway This Year!!!

April 20th, 2008 the Daffodil Marine Regatta will head down the Thea Foss Waterway. Have your picnic baskets stocked by noon so you can sit back in your front row seat and watch the parade cruise by.

The tradition of the Marine Parade began 56 years ago, when, at the conclusion of the Daffodil Parade, the flowers were removed from parade floats and vehicles and taken to the Yacht Club. Yacht Club members would decorate their vessels & boats with the daffodils and parade up and down the Ruston Way waterfront. The tradition has grown into one of the largest marine parades in the Pacific Northwest.

The Tacoma Yacht Club will host more than 160 guest boats for the Marine Regatta and Parade. Yacht Club activities will commence on Friday with the conclusion of their regatta ending with the marine parade.
