The ever exciting and competitive boat parade will be held July 4th at 1:00 pm. Entrants must register at Knotty Oar Marina prior to the event. Entrants are assigned a number which is to be displayed prominently on their watercraft for judging. The number can be constructed out of anything you like but it must be visible to the judges. The parade forms up on Upper Prior Lake near Charlie's on Prior at 1:00 pm. Entrants are requested to circle the judge’s pontoon marked by the Prior Lake Association banner, in counter clockwise loop. The Sheriff's boat leads entrants and on completion of judging, the Sheriff leads parade North under County 21 bridge to Lower Prior. First Prize $500, Second Prize $250, Third Prize $100.. To protect the waterfowl living on Prior Lake: NO WATER BALLOON THROWING!!!

NEW FOR 2020: Usually the procession of the boats in the contest disperses after cruising through the channel and entering Lower Prior. This year we would like to invite EVERYONE to continue with parade which will take a full tour of Lower Prior.
