The boats will parade down Clear Creek Channel by the Kemah boardwalk and revelers will be showered with beads and doubloons. Boat owners are encouraged to form private “Krewes” and decorate their boats to a particular theme. Originality and good taste will be highly valued in judging. The Yachty Gras Boat Parade is open to any well-found vessel that is insured and has an appropriately silenced exhaust system.
