Forecast shows winds in the low-mid teens so no paddling, but it is supposed to be dry. Changing this to a land only event. Just so we know who to expect, please update your RSVP accordingly. Parking is allowed in the boat ramp area (only for opening night) but double parking for each spot.
Kick off the holiday season at Renton’s Clam Lights Opening Night Celebration - sponsored by Ivar's! Join us as Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park comes alive with twinkling lights, festive music, and holiday cheer for the whole family.
Enjoy a tree lighting ceremony, holiday music atmosphere, and the arrival of Santa Claus as the park transforms into a glowing winter wonderland along Lake Washington. Bundle up, bring your loved ones, and share in this cherished Renton tradition that marks the start of the holiday season!
