All set to make waves, the Australia Day Harbour Parade will celebrate some of Sydney’s most iconic vessels parading around the harbour in a dazzling display of fun national spirit. Vessels of all shapes and sizes will dress their decks, showing off their wacky, patriotic, fancy dressed or elegantly decorated boats on the best harbour in the world.
Boats and crews will parade in their national day finest as they challenge for best dressed or cheeky prizes such as the Going Overboard Award (the most imaginative vessel) and the Budgie Smuggler Award (best small vessel). The prize pool includes EFTPOS gift cards, family passes to Luna Park and the Australian National Maritime Museum, long lunch dining cruises with Captain Cook Cruises and a twilight sail on board the historic Duyfken tall ship!
