Sausalito waterfront comes alive Saturday with lighted boat parade, fireworks display

Red, green and a riot of other colors will sparkle on boats gliding along the Sausalito waterfront during the 35^th Lighted Boat Parade and Fireworks celebration Saturday evening.

For decades, folks have gathered to watch the free event, in which brightly lit, beautifully decorated boats sail the length of the Sausalito shoreline. The event begins at 6 p.m., but savvy celebrants arrive by 5 p.m. or earlier to grab a good spot.
