Fremont celebrates the holidays in some unique ways.\u00a0 The first real event is “Festivus” which includes a gathering in the square, airing of grievances, various competitions of strength, a chicken dance and finally the lighting of the statue of Lenin.<\/p>\n

Fremont also hosts the Christmas Boat Parade in the ship canal.\u00a0 This year was the largest fleet we’ve seen – 50 to 60 well decorated boats of all sizes along with a few paddle boarders and a couple of kayaks all with decorative lighting.<\/p>\n

Pirate ships, plenty of Santa Clauses, some polar bears, reindeer, and an abominable snow man all made appearances.\u00a0 But Alice I thought the boat below had the most different aspects of holiday covered – it had it all going on!<\/p>\n
