Explore events in Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County, Maryland, including festivals, live music, seasonal celebrations, and local happenings throughout the year. Signature events like the Autumn Glory Festival and July 4th Fireworks draw visitors each year, along with activities happening year-round to help you plan your visit.
The Evening Lighted Boat Parade will be held on Saturday, July 6th, starting from the Boardwalk and ending at Dutch’s at Silver Tree. The flotilla of boats will get underway shortly after dusk (if there are many antique and non-lighted boats, they will leave before dusk) and proceed in single file past a number of judging stations along the route. As the Parade is taking place at night, entrants are encouraged to illuminate their boats with the best lighting show they can produce. Spectators at the judging stations will vote for their favorite boats, and prizes will be awarded in a number of categories, with a Grand Prize consisting of a custom-designed Winner’s Pennant and trophy. Entrants in the parade will need to pay a $50 registration fee at the Grand Marshal’s boat anchored off the Boardwalk, and the number of entries are limited, so be sure to pre-register to ensure your spot.
