Founded in 1976, the Portage Lakes Boat Parade is an event that anchors July 4th weekend in the Portage Lakes. Taking place on Saturday, July 6th 2019, the parade will begin on East Reservoir near the old Leighton’s/Kieffer Marine location (near Biggin’s Big Dip) and will end at the State Park Beach.
