Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, 2021 NW 190th Street
7:30 p.m. - Syre and Einstein Choirs
8:20 p.m. - Christmas Ship Arrives
The main purpose of the Christmas Ship is to bring communities together to celebrate the holiday season. From the flotilla of ships to the crowds of people who gather onshore, this celebration is one of the gems of the northwest. In Richmond Beach, the event has become a cherished tradition. This year's festivities are scheduled for Tuesday, December 13. The evening begins at 7:30 p.m. with music from the choirs of Syre Elementary and Einstein Middle Schools under the direction of Janet Allison.
The Christmas Ship, followed by a fleet of Argosy vessels, private yachts, sailboats and other small crafts decked out with holiday lights, will arrive off Richmond Beach Saltwater Park at 8:20 p.m. for a 20 minute performance. Gather around a warm bonfire while joyous voices from The Everett Chorale serenade beach guests. Bring a flashlight to waive at the ship so they can appreciate the size of their audience onshore. Complimentary cookies will be served. Since parking is limited, please plan to walk if possible.
