POULSBO — Blasting songs like the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick," a dozen or so boats paraded around Liberty Bay Friday evening, where Santa Claus "ho-ho-ho"-ed and waved to families lined along the waterfront for the Lighted Boat Parade.

A crowd gathered at Poulsbo's Waterfront Park to watch the parade begin, with boats from the Poulsbo Yacht Club decked out in holiday lights and decorations.

The club also hosted a lighted boat parade Saturday evening, beginning at Manzanita and sailing around Agate Pass and Port Madison.
