Buchanan, Tenn.–With weather reports calling for frigid temperatures next week, the planned lighted holiday boat parade at Paris Landing State Park Marina has been changed to this weekend.
Paris Landing State Park Ranger Gina Lowry said, “We had to change the parade to this Sunday. It’s going to be way too cold to go out on December 23”, as had been originally planned.
Numerous boats at the Paris Landing Marina have been all decked out with lights for Christmas.
Boats will be setting out from the Marina at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, go under the Ned McWherter Bridge and around to the Lodge at Paris Landing. “People should be able to see the parade from the Lodge,” she said, “and that will make it nice, too”.
Boats in the parade should be back to the Marina by 5:30 or 6 p.m., she said.
