Events and Photos

In 1991, a sailboat, a trawler and a runabout decked their hulls (and everything else) with Christmas lights and slowly cruised up “the mighty Ogeechee River, braving harsh elements on a voyage of goodwill to bring Christmas tidings and cheer to the good people of Richmond Hill,” Or so their certificates said.  It was the beginning of Christmas on the Ogeechee lighted boat parade and a local tradition. Each year, the spectacle of lights grew. Today, hundreds line the docks, bluffs and banks around Fort McAllister Marina to enjoy the illuminated procession that ushers in the holiday season the beginning of December.
