Christmas Ships Festival

Enjoy a Mercer Island Christmas tradition at Luther Burbank Beach by welcoming the beautiful lighted flotilla of Christmas Ships and singing holiday carols.


The ships and the Dickens Carolers will first visit Covenant Shores at 8:05 p.m. for a private performance, and then visit the Luther Burbank Park swimming beach at 8:40 p.m. until 9 p.m.


Each night of the holiday season through Dec. 23 the flotilla of ships with carolers and revelers set sail to various communities around the Puget Sound, greeted by crowds on well-wishers on the adjacent shore.
