HOUSTON (Nov. 29, 2007)– Texas’ 46th Annual Christmas Boat Lane Parade on Clear Lake is the evening of Saturday, December 8th. At 6:00 pm, as fireworks light up the sky from the City of Nassau Bay to signify the start of the parade, the Beacon Island Lighthouse new holiday lighting will be unveiled. Light Partners has designed a night lighting scheme that will employ ground-mounted, high-luminous, directional LED (light emitting diode) lanterns that can cast millions of interchanging colors, controlled by a computer program. The five white bands around the black and white Beacon Island lighthouse will serve as canvasses that will be adorned with a variety of vibrant colors and patterns.

“As the event that has kicked off the holiday season in Clear Lake for 46 years, we are thrilled that The Verandah Companies has chosen the Christmas Boat Lane Parade to premiere their modern holiday light show,” said Boat Parade Chairman Jim Christiansen. “The light affects will only add to the excitement for the 100,000 people enjoying the parade from land and from hundreds of boats anchored throughout the Lake,” said Christiansen.

From traditional to unique, the decorations aboard the 150 beautiful vessels will provide a symphony of colors and music and a variety of fanciful designs as Santa’s, elves, angels and other passengers dance and sing seasons greetings to viewers shore side and on hundreds of spectator boats along the route.
