HOLIDAY IN THE PARK - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10
It’s that time of year again to jingle and mingle at the annual Holiday in the Park event, hosted by the Nassau Bay Special Events Committee and the City of Nassau Bay. The event will be held on Saturday, December 10 from 2PM to 4PM.
Get into the holiday spirit as snow descends on Howard Ward Park and creates a winter wonderland with a snow slide, trackless train, and play patch. The Special Events Committee is excited to announce that Santa will be at the event to visit with all the good boys and girls in Nassau Bay – so bring your camera for a few Santa selfies and family photo opportunities! Festive attire is encouraged! The event will also include the first-ever Ugly Sweater Contest, with age groups 0-7 years, 8-17 years and 18 and up. The contest will take place at 2:15PM at the Gazebo, with Santa arriving right after. The event will also be a donation site for Toys for Tots, so bring a new toy to donate to a great cause. For more information, check out our Facebook event page, “Annual Holiday in the Park!”
CHRISTMAS BOAT LANE PARADE - 61ST ANNIVERSARY Kick off the holiday season with the 61st Anniversary Christmas Boat Lane Parade produced by the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
More than 100,000 people traditionally enjoy this event on land and from hundreds of boats anchored throughout the lake. The parade will feature more than 60 brightly colored power and sailboats that will merrily traverse the channel from the Nassau Bay Lagoon to Galveston Bay. Fireworks will be launched from the Nassau Bay Peninsula at 6PM signaling the start of the parade.
