Yachty Gras Grand Night Boat Parade

Yachty Gras is America’s Largest Mardi Gras Boat Parade. Boat owners are encouraged to form private “Krewes” and decorate their boats with a theme of their choice.  The Grand Night Boat Parade will begin in the Clear Lake Channel and pass by the Kemah Boardwalk as boat passengers throw beads to revelers along the way. Parade judges will tally their votes for the most lavishly decorated boats and most enthusiastic krewes. Yachty Gras is an event to be enjoyed by the entire family.
