Downtown Waterfront

Join us for our final CRAFTernoon of the season in partnership with the Fabulous PNW Glass Guild!

Each December, the Columbia River shimmers with reflections of holiday lights as the Christmas Ships Parade sails past the Vancouver Waterfront and other Clark County vantage points. This free, family-friendly event has been a local tradition for nearly 70 years, bringing a touch of magic to the river for visitors and residents alike.

Join us for a preseason sneak peak at the Christmas Ships Parade and marvel at the brightly illuminated decorations as the boats glide past the sparkling Vancouver Waterfront.

Join the 20th year anniversary for a beloved holiday event for kids and grandparents alike. The whole family will enjoy reserved seating and a plated breakfast while whimsical characters entertain the kids with storytelling, music and magic.

The perfect setting for a wonderful Thanksgiving with the whole family. Let us do the cooking this holiday. Sit back and relax as you cruise down the river, taking in the views of the city of Portland and the historic Milwaukie waterfront. Enjoy...
