Ashfield Lighted Boat Parade - Call for Proposals

Ashfield is holding a Lighted Boat Parade on September 12, 2026, and you are invited to enter even if you don't own your own boat. Twelve winning designs will receive $1,000 grants to build your floating creations, with more prizes for the best boats at the parade. Key design concepts are Light It Up; Make It Special; and Keep It Safe. Applications are due by 5pm on March 31. This opportunity is supported by New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA).
