LKN Christmas Boat Parade on deck Dec. 16

Dec. 9. The Lake Norman Lighted Christmas Boat Parade will launch at 5:30 pm as planned on Dec. 16. Cornelius Police will help lead the parade—and keep it in deep water—with three major stops: Blythe Landing at 5:30 pm, then on to Ramsey Creek, continuing to the Peninsula Yacht Club and then Duke Energy Explorium by 7:15 pm.

Event organizer Colin Furcht, a former Cornelius Town Board member, said the cancellation of the Northen Lights Parade—due to low lake levels—has caused some confusion.

“Everyone is confusing whether ours is cancelled. It is not,” he said.
