Celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence calls for more than just one day of fireworks and hot dogs. An anniversary this big deserves a whole year of patriotic pride, and that’s exactly what the City of Treasure Island has planned.
Kicking things off in true Treasure Island style, a Patriotic Boat Parade will set sail on Saturday, May 23, at 9 a.m. This is not a political event. It’s a fun, family-friendly flotilla bursting with red, white, and blue spirit, with boats decked out with American flags, sparkling with stars and stripes, and radiating American pride.
The parade route starts behind the Publix, cruises around Treasure Bay, sails under the Treasure Island Causeway bridge, weaves through the Isle of Palms and Isle of Capri neighborhoods and drops anchor in John’s Pass. It’s the perfect way to showcase our beautiful waterways while honoring America’s milestone birthday.
Want to join the fun? Register your boat to become part of the fleet, or grab your lawn chair, slap on your brightest red, white, and blue outfit, wave a flag, and cheer from the shore. Treasure Bay will be open to the public and offers one of the best viewing spots in the area.
Let’s make some waves and celebrate 250 years of freedom the Treasure Island way, with boats, sunshine, and pride.
