Make Waves Before the Parade
Step aboard the Bay Lady for the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade Pre Party Sail—a VIP prelude to Seattle’s most electric summer night.
From 5 to 7pm on Saturday, July 26, we’ll cruise the sparkling waters of Elliott Bay with skyline views, flowing drinks, and generous catered dinner. Then, step off the ship and into your reserved seats along the parade route—no scrambling for sidewalk space or hauling lawn chairs required.
This is the most comfortable, crowd-free, and unforgettable way to experience the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade. With space limited and demand high, this exclusive evening sells out fast.

Only a Few Get This View
Parade night draws thousands. Seats are scarce. But aboard the Bay Lady, you're not fighting for curb space—you’re sailing into the evening with a drink in hand and a reserved spot waiting when you return.
The Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade Pre Party Sail isn’t just a warm-up—it’s the most VIP way to experience Seattle’s biggest night of summer. Space is extremely limited, and these seats are some of the only guaranteed views of the parade downtown.
