Roche Harbor’s Colors Ceremony
A time-honored tradition
Touring the island by scout coupe or moped allows you to leisurely soak in the views and stop along the way, as desired.
Since 1957, Roche Harbor’s colors ceremony has been a time-honored tradition.
Since 1957, Roche Harbor’s colors ceremony has been a time-honored tradition. The ceremony begins with a nightly retirement of four flags: Washington State, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. Songs are played as the flags are lowered. But the most exciting moment happens as the American flag descends — a cannon booms across the harbor!
Following the ceremony, there is a weather announcement, a welcoming of guests, and a recognition of any special occasions being celebrated at the resort. (Runs early May through September.)
Get There with a Scenic Flight
If you’re already aboard a Kenmore Air flight, this may be old news. But getting to the San Juans doesn’t have to be a slog. In fact, the scenic flight can be half the fun!
