Birmingham Boat Parade
We went to watch the Birmingham Boat Parade yesterday. It takes place between Old Turn Junction and the Mailbox every year in early December. There are 15-20 boats decorated with Christmas trees, lights, and all sorts of Christmas Decorations. Thousands of people line the towpaths along both sides, braving the cold and the wind, to watch the convoy make its way slowly past.
There are commercial entries and private entries, but whichever they are they’ve all put such large efforts into decorating their boats. A few are even animated, the bird on Aquarius, the British Waterway’s boat even flapped its wings. There are several bridges, including a low one under Broad Street so this limits the height of the decorations. Look out for next year’s parade.
