THE Sir Durward Knowles Festival of Lights - the traditional Christmas boat parade through historical Nassau Harbour - hoists sail for the seventh year on Saturday December 10, casting off at 6.30pm.
Starting in Arawak Bay the lighted flotilla will make its way to Montagu, giving a close-up view of the boats at Pier 14, where they turn in the channel.
This year’s Festival of Lights theme is “A Pirate Christmas in The Bahamas”. Charity boats can find sponsors to enter to raise awareness.
This year’s Grand Marshall is Peter Andrews, well known sailor and philanthropist. “I am happy to captain the ship for our patron Sir Durward Knowles,” said Mr Andrews. “We are looking forward to a great event - I am reaching out to everyone to support us this year.”
