FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Annual Parade of Boats Sails Into Centennial Lakes Park June 9
Edina, Minn., May 24, 2024 – The 32nd-annual Parade of Boats, featuring more than 100 remote-controlled boats, will be 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 9, at Centennial Lakes Park, 7499
France Ave. S.
Grab a spot along the park’s central pond to see the boats, which include miniature yachts, small battleships, model paddleboats, sailboats, tugboats and even tiny speedboats. Many of
the boats feature fine details, like captains at the wheel or a parrot perched on the crow’s nest. They range from historically accurate scale ships to silly creations. Kid favorites
include a boat full of Minions and Mr. Potato Head pirates aboard the Gravy Boat.
Members of the Edina Model Yacht Club, which puts on the free event, will be on hand to answer questions about the model boats and the hobby. Other boats will be on display inside Hughes
Pavilion.
For more about the event, call 952-833-9580 or visit the Edina Model Yacht Club’s website, emyc.org. Learn more about Centennial Lakes Park at CentennialLakesPark.com.
