Seafair & 76
Special People's Holiday Cruise
Celebrate the season of giving, December 6

A gift from the Seafair Boating Community and the Seafair Foundation to our developmentally disabled community.

Tis' the Season!
This heartwarming event takes to the water as independent boaters and charter operators volunteer their boats, crew and time to host more than 2,000 developmentally disabled guests on a special holiday cruise on Lake Union and Lake Washington.

Nearly 400 boaters will decorate their boats in a festive display of lights and welcome guests aboard at various docks and yacht clubs around the area.

Once on board, guests are treated to snacks and beverages provided by participating boat owners and skippers, as well as entertainment and visits from Santa Claus as they cruise for two-hours through the Mountlake Cut and near the 520 bridge.
