SC250 CORA Parade of Sail
Come celebrate Carolina Day from the water with the SC250 CORA Parade of Sail - a once-in-a-generation harbor procession honoring the Battle of Sullivan's Island, Charleston's maritime heritage, and America's 250th birthday.
Get on the water for Carolina Day! The SC250 CORA Parade of Sail, presented in partnership with SC250, is a once-in-a-generation celebration honoring the Battle of Sullivan's Island, Charleston's maritime heritage, and America's 250th birthday. We invite you to join us — the procession sets off from the South Carolina Aquarium at 10:00 AM, traveling the Charleston waterfront before proceeding through Charleston Harbor. Sailors, power boaters, and friends - all are welcome.
Shoreside, the party starts at 10:00 AM at White Point Garden, with demonstrations running all day at Fort Moultrie. Viewing areas stretch along the peninsula and surrounding waterfront to watch the fleet pass - with thousands expected to celebrate across the weekend.
In the Skipper's Bag Registered vessels receive an SC250 CORA keepsake burgee while supplies last. First 25 registered vessels receive a bottle of Mount Gay Silver.
Evening Celebration at the Custom House Join us ashore at the end of the day! The celebration continues at 4:00 PM with the SC250 Block Party outside the U.S. Custom House, followed by a drone show over Charleston Harbor at 9:15 PM.
