San Juan Island Yacht Club to host opening day parade and brunch on May 8

On Sun­day, May 8, the San Juan Island Yacht Club will ring in the new boat­ing sea­son by host­ing an open­ing day boat parade and Moth­er’s Day brunch. Both events are open to the community.

“Our theme is Back to the Future and we see the event as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to come togeth­er as a com­mu­ni­ty as in days past,” says SJIYC Fleet Cap­tain Glen Margolis.

The event kicks off with brunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the San Juan Island Yacht Club, locat­ed just above the mari­na. Ves­sels will gath­er for the parade around 2 p.m. at Ship­yard Cove. The parade itself will kick off some time around 2:30 p.m., fol­low­ing the fer­ry departure.

Brunch tick­ets are $20 and can be pur­chased online or at the club. There’s no cost to take part in the parade, but advance reg­is­tra­tion is required.
