We've had up to 85-foot boats. They only move by water, not land. The largest this year is 65 feet. Another plus of in-water shows is, of course, atmosphere. Because it is outdoors, in the water, it has a different kind of aura than the indoor shows.
People dress like boaters.
They're in shorts. Adding to the atmosphere is the Party Barge Floating Deck, a floating food, beverage and entertainment pavilion. But there will be just as much to see on the shore in the adjacent Washington Park as on the docks.
