Emily Lakes and Rivers Association
Boat Parade
The Boat Parade celebrates Independence Day and occurs on the 4th of July weekend. Decorate your boat, pontoon or other watercraft in the red, white and blue. Participants navigate the lakes and river greeting their lake neighbors.
This years parade celebrating the USA's 250th birthday is scheduled for:
Saturday, July 4, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.
Participants should gather on Lake Mary near where the Little Pine River exits the lake. Look for the lead boat, the one with the large ELRA sign on the front, then follow it around the lakes. Our planned route will be once around Lake Mary, into the Little Pine River with a finish somewhere on Lake Emily.
