2001 Argosy Christmas Ships Festival
Catch the wondrous spirit of the holiday. Hear it in glorious caroling by the Northwest's finest choirs on 22 magical evenings. Feel it in free community bonfires shared by thousands of people of all ages at waterfront locations. See it in the shimmering of hundreds of sparkling white lights.

Again this year a portion of all ticket sales goes to benefit the Seattle Times Fund for the needy. For tickets, call Argosy Cruises at (206) 623-1445 or visit the website: argosycruises.com
