EVENT GALLERY

THE 2026 RESULTS ARE IN!

Congratulations to all our winners! 

With so many fantastic entries, the judges certainly had their work cut out. We're delighted to announce this year's award winners below!

We were so impressed by one of the entries that wasn’t awarded a trophy that we introduced a new category for them:

A huge thank you to all our wonderful sponsors for their incredible generosity and support in helping make this year's Illuminated Parade such a fantastic event!

We'd also like to thank everyone who entered and put so much time, creativity and effort into decorating their boats. The amazing displays and spectacular illuminations really brought the parade to life!

And, of course, a massive thank you to all the spectators who came along to enjoy the parade, cheer on the boats and create such a brilliant atmosphere.

This year's Illuminated Parade would not have been possible without the incredible generosity and support of our headline sponsors, Phyllis Court Members Club and MEC, to whom we are enormously grateful.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Leander Club for their fantastic support and for hosting this year's event.

Our sincere thanks also go to C&M, Toad Hall, Blanchards Family Law and Hobbs of Henley for their very generous support in helping make this year's parade such a wonderful success.
