A heartfelt thank you to all the entrants for the incredible time, creativity, and energy they poured into decorating their boats—and for bravely sailing through the blustery conditions with such spirit!
Our warmest thanks also go to the wonderful spectators who turned out in such impressive numbers, bringing cheer and excitement, and helping to make the Parade a truly joyful, family-friendly occasion.
This year's event would not be possible without the generous support of our special partners Phyllis Court Club and Blue Peak for which we are enormously grateful.
We would also like to thank O'Brien Real Estate, The Relais, Toad Hall, Dallas & Co Solicitors, Pokhara Delight, Blanchards Law Ltd, Henley Town Council, Hobbs of Henley, Henley Royal Regatta, Leander Club, and Pink Spaghetti Horsham for their generous support.

The Parade is organised by a privately owned UK limited company.
The Company’s only activity is to organise an ‘Illuminated Boat Parade’ at Henley on Thames.
All costs of the first year were covered by a donation from the shareholders.
No fees or dividends are being paid to the directors or shareholders.
The event is organised specifically as a fund-raising event for charity.
All nett fees for entries collected via the website and on the night and any charitable donations at the event will be donated to the two chosen charities less the mooring fees that will be passed on to Hobbs Limited as collection agents for the mooring’s owners.
The organisers would welcome any sponsorship enquiries.
The directors reserve the right to recoup some costs as the event grows in size.
