Last year’s Friends Of the River San Bernard July 4th boat parade was rained out. A huge turnout is expected for the this year’s event.

The parade will begin Saturday at the Churchill bridge on FM 2611 and end upriver at 2J’s Café and Marina. Participants are invited a hot dog dinner where parade winners will be announced and door prizes given away.

The parade is free and open to everyone. Any kind or size of boat or personal watercraft can be decorated and entered in the parade. Plaques will be awarded for best spirit, best sound, most patriotic, most unusual, best theme and best overall. The parade begins at 5 p.m., with boats in the water and ready to line up at 4:30 p.m.
