Tonight, December 5, the place to be is the Port of Ilwaco!  We will celebrate the 5th annual lighted boat parade plus light the world’s tallest crab pot Christmas Tree!  The festivities start at 5 pm.

If you want to practice, here are the words to one of the “carols”:

Crab Pot Tree

Sing to the tune of Jingle Bells

Lyrics by Clint Carter

Coming in to Port, with crab for everyone,

Just like tater chips, you can’t eat just one,

Here comes Southern Cross, and then Crystal Marie

Their boats filled with crab, just for you and me

Soon we’ll all sit down, and have some Dungeness

Come on in and cook some crab, we’ll make a great big mess,

Oh, crab pot tree, crab pot tree

Made of steel and wire,

Put another crab pot on,

Let’s make this tree go higher,

Crab pot tree, crab pot tree

With your buoys and lights,

Let’s cook up some crab and have a Dungeness tonight

Fourteen feet of love, fellowship and pride

Made of old crab pots, floats and lots of lights

It’s Ilwaco’s tree, our crab pot Christmas tree,

Lit up oh, so bright, a spectacle to see

Shining towards the town, and also out to sea,

Bring our Crabbers, safe to port, with lots of crab to eat

Oh, crab pot tree, crab pot tree

Made of steel and wire,

Put another crab pot on,

Let’s make this tree go higher,

Crab pot tree, crab pot tree

With your buoys and lights,

Let’s cook up some crab and have a Dungeness tonight

Oh, crab pot tree, crab pot tree

Made of steel and wire,

Put another crab pot on,

Let’s make this tree go higher,

Crab pot tree, crab pot tree

With your buoys and lights,

Let’s cook up some crab and have a Dungeness tonight
