Looking for your moment to shine in the Holy City? The City of Charleston is seeking submissions for a variety of contests and events, giving everyone a chance to get in the spotlight.
The Parade of Boats, produced by the City of Charleston and the Charleston Sail and Power Squadron, is seeking participants for this year’s event. Local boaters deck out their vessels in holiday lights and decorations for a chance at claiming the top prize — prizes are awarded for both power and sail boats. Entries cost $25 for recreational vehicles and $50 for commercial vessels and are due Dec. 2. The Parade of Boats will take place on Dec. 4. Call (843) 724-7414 for more info.
