Watch Alexandria's Holiday Boat Parade Of Lights

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Old Town Alexandria's iconic Holiday Boat Parade of Lights is Saturday night. Look for the live feed below as the parade begins at 5:30 p.m.

Every year, boats get decked out with holiday lights to illuminate Alexandria's waterfront. 50 boats will line up for a parade along the waterfront before docking for judging. The nighttime parade comes the same day as the popular Scottish Christmas Walk Parade in Old Town.

In between the parade, festivities are going on from 2 p.m.-9 p.m. Santa arrived by fireboat at 3 p.m. and is meeting with children until 6 p.m. In addition, the Torpedo Factory Art Center is holding its annual Holiday Festival from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a holiday market and Christmas tunes by the Alexandria Choral Society Pro Coro and the Silver 5 Brass Quintet.

From 4 to 7 p.m. at the marina, the 94.7 Fresh FM Street Team presents music, games and prizes while new paper goods boutique Penny Post offers a postcard pop-up to write old fashioned postcards to Santa or a loved one that will be mailed for free.

After the parade, keep voting to make it USA Today's "Best Holiday Parade." Alexandria's parade is squaring off against 19 competitors, including those in Reston, Baltimore and Annapolis. Vote here through noon Monday, Dec. 4. The top 10 will be announced Dec. 8.
