Port Orchard Yacht Club
is gearing up for a beloved community tradition—their 69th Annual Lighted Boat Parade and Santa’s Seaward Arrival on Saturday, December 13th, 2025. This magical evening brings holiday cheer to families along the shoreline and has become one of the season’s most heartwarming local events.

The parade will begin just after dusk (around 5:00 PM, weather permitting) near the Southworth Ferry Terminal, then follow the shoreline north through Rich Passage before making its way into Port Orchard Harbor.

SUPPORT OUR LIBRARY:
The Friends of the Manchester Library are pleased to report that we hit our capital campaign goal for fundraising for the building addition. We appreciate all those who contributed to bringing our new spaces to reality! As we move back to normal operations, we still appreciate your donations toward our regular operations. Keeping the library heated, lighted, maintained, and supporting some of the programming will cost us about $24,000 this year. Your on-going donations are sincerely appreciated.
