A holiday cruise on Baltimore's Inner Harbor aboard Lady Thames, leaving from Fell's Point.
Every December, boats strung with holiday lights from bow to mast make their way along Baltimore's waterfront, from Anchorage Marina in Canton past Fell's Point toward the Inner Harbor. The Lighted Boat Parade is one of the city's favorite holiday traditions, and most people watch it from the promenade.
This year, watch it from the water. On Saturday, December 5, Lady Thames heads out from Fell's Point at 4:30 as the sun goes down and spends three hours on the Harbor. The parade usually reaches Fell's Point around 6 PM, right after the neighborhood tree lighting, so you're out on the water as the boats come through and the city lights up for the season.
Find a seat by the windows or step out on deck. Holiday bites and music on board, and specialty holiday cocktails at the bar.
