Mandeville Cruise

Mandeville Fireworks Cruise

Joins fellow CCYC members and cruise to " the largest boat-in event in the Delta."

July 4th - Hilton Fireworks Extravaganza, staged by Hotel magnate Barron Hilton, headquartered at his duck club on Venice Island. This annual event features fireworks shot from a barge anchored off Mandeville Tip and attracts over 6,000 boats, anchored out in the area, some of them for many days. This is the largest boat-in event in the Delta -- perhaps the largest in the west.
