Press Release: Lighted Boat Parade 2024

 

BAY CITY TO HOST ANNUAL BOAT PARADE

Event will include skate party

BAY CITY, SL (13 December, 2024) - Bay City will show their holiday spirit with a lighted boat parade launching from the New Port Yacht Club and traveling the waters to Uccie's Lighthouse, then north to the Bay City Fairgrounds. The event will kick off at 7:00 p.m. on the 19th, and will finish with a skate party in the Fairgrounds, with music provided by local musical celebrity DJ GoSpeed of KONA Stream.

Participants from across the grid are welcome to join in: many mesh boats come with party lights and other options, but if the boat doesn't have lights, we'd recommend adding some, either by editing them onto the boat, or creating a lighting rig you can wear in advance. Or you may visit Uccie's Lighthouse in Luna Palisades or the Bay City Fairgrounds in North Channel to view the parade. Bleachers are provided at the latter location

Donation bins will also be present at the event, with all proceeds going to Child's Play Charity. Child's Play is a 501c3 non profit organization offers online communities such as ours an opportunity to help seriously ill children around the globe during their hospital stays with the purchase of games and gaming equipment. Thus far in the 2024 season, Bay City has raised L$241112 for the charity.

Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.
