The Mays Landing Yacht Club is hosting the "Night of Lights" boat parade and house decoration event on Saturday evening, Sept. 8. All area boat owners are welcome to participate. This shoulder season event is being held for the second consecutive year after a 20-year hiatus. Much like Ocean City's "Night in Venice" boat parade, the "Night of Lights" is a community event. It will start at the bulkhead in Mays Landing adjacent to the Inn at Sugar Hill at 7 p.m. Boats will proceed four miles down the Great Egg Harbor River into Egg Harbor Township and then return to the bulkhead in Mays Landing. Awards will follow immediately after the parade at Merrill's Inn on Rt. 50 in Belcoville.
