Harbor Island’s 50th Annual Blessing of the Fleet and Boat Parade

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 75, with support from the Village of Mamaroneck Harbor Master, will host the 50th Annual Blessing of the Fleet on Thursday, July 4th. Come to the West Basin at Harbor Island Park at 12 noon for the Parade of Ships. Vessels of all shapes and sizes are festively decorated by mariners who parade in front of a reviewing stand to receive a blessing from local clergy, and are judged in hopes of winning prizes supplied by local merchants. For more information, contact Jeff LaRusso at jlarusso@vomny.org or Kristen Salov at ksalov@vomny.org in the Harbor Master’s Office. Our thanks to United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 75 for organizing this beloved community event.
