Boats decked out in sparkling Christmas lights are set to illuminate the Pelican Waters canals on 8 December, bringing festive cheer to the waterfront community for the second year running.
Caloundra Coastguard Flotilla Commander Roger Pearce said the annual Pelican Waters Christmas Lights Boat Parade launched in 2023 as an uplifting community initiative.
“It was an exhaustive process to set it up last year with all of the approvals we needed, but our persistence was worth the effort,” Commander Pearce said.
“The night turned out so well, we are very much looking forward to this year’s event, which we expect will be even bigger than last year.
“We had 50 boats at the 2023 event, and we had 12 registrations within the first 24 hours of being open this year.”
Those interested in being a part of this year’s parade can pick up a registration form from the Caloundra Coast Guard Headquarters at Tripcony Lane, off Majola Avenue, or by emailing [email protected].
