Muskegon Lake Tradition

Departing from our downtown Muskegon dock at 12:00 PM (boarding begins at 11:30 AM), the Aquastar will proudly lead the festive procession of local pleasure craft, fishing boats, cruisers, and speedboats through the Muskegon Channel and out toward the open waters of Lake Michigan.

Enjoy the best seat in the house as the annual “Washing of the Lighthouse” tradition unfolds—watch the Sheriff’s Department blast the Muskegon South Pierhead Lighthouse with its water cannon!

Be part of this cherished lakeshore tradition as Reverend Robert Cook blesses each passing vessel for a safe and joyful boating season. From your spot on the Aquastar, you’ll be in the heart of the celebration!
