The annual Richmond Yacht Club (RYC) Parade of Lights takes place this Saturday, Dec. 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The flotilla of 15 or 16 vessels, including the Coast Guard will sail from Cambie Road to the Dinsmore Bridge, with the best viewing spot on the dyke at the RYC clubhouse at 7471 River Rd.

RYC is inviting the public to join them for cookies, hot chocolate and hot dogs, plus a chance to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with entertainment from the Richmond Singers.

Donations are welcomed for the Richmond Food Bank and the Richmond Christmas Fund.

“This a great way for us to give back to the community every year and we’re very much looking forward to it,” said RYC’s Ken Nelson, who spent a couple of days decorating his own boat for the event.
