 Tacoma Yacht Club’s Daffodil Weekend is rapidly approaching. This year’s theme is “Hope Rises”. We would like to cordially invite you to join the 70th annual Daffodil Marine Festival and Parade.
The basin crew will be ready to welcome visiting boaters beginning at noon on Thursday, April 21st. If you are coming by boat, we will find moorage for you; however, we cannot always guarantee power, and the use of diesel generators are not permitted if they pose a carbon monoxide health risk to others. Also, we cannot guarantee that you will have pet friendly access to shore so please consider before bringing your dogs.
 On Friday afternoon, April 22nd from 2-4 PM join us on the TYC deck for one free beer and appetizers (while supplies last). There will be a lottery drawing Friday night at 7 PM for trivia seating and your placement in the Token Parade. At 8:30 PM join us for music and dancing with Brian Grover from Disk Jockey Entertainment. The dance party theme will be “Beach Party”. Come dressed up ready for a beach party! The Daffodil Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs will be awarding the best costume(s) of the evening, so come prepared to compete for the top spot and to dance the night away!
One of the highlights of the weekend is trivia along with the Token Parade on Saturday afternoon, April 23rd at 1:30 PM followed by Jeopardy Trivia Contest from 2-4 PM. Please take careful note of the following for trivia:
- We will use the same Trivia format as in past years
- Each club will select a team of no more than five people to compete in the trivia contest
- These official teams will be seated in the first rows. Their exact location will be determined by the lottery drawing
- Once the teams are seated, other club members will be escorted into the ballroom to cheer on their team during the competition
Saturday night there is a dinner buffet from 5:30 – 8:00 PM followed by live music featuring the “No Rules” Band.
Sunday April 24th the weekend will culminate with the Decorated Boat Parade along Tacoma waterfront. We are looking forward to seeing your creative efforts!
