Christmas Ships The tried and true holiday “on water” classic couldn’t be more socially distant. The annual parade will float both the Willamette and the Columbia rivers this season beginning Dec. 4. The nonprofit Christmas Ships could also use financial help; look for donation information on the website. Organizers remind fans that some venues may
not host viewing parties this year, and that spectators should use caution and respect social distancing and health guidelines. Please leave plenty of space between parties and wear a mask. Various times on both the Willamette and Columbia rivers (weather permitting) Dec. 4-22; schedules available now at christmas - ships.org
