The main ceremonies feature boats of 8-10 metres in length, formerly made of banana wood or bamboo, but now sometimes of other materials.

Bud Bash is an alcohol-fueled event featuring boats tied together on the lake, hundreds of people, lots of alcohol, live music, and more.

It features a village, boats, market, and siege weapons of the period such as a trebuchet and a ballista.

Nounou Light - A commercial broadcasted in 1993 featured a yacht that features several boats sailing into the sea.

This version also features waves, weather, day/night time transitions, damage to vessels, and new boats and ships.

The lake once featured boats but since the restoration of the lake the boats have not returned to the lake.

The series features boats which feature at the Olympics and Paralympics.

Launched in 2000, it broadcasts an extensive range of national and international racing series featuring cars, motorbikes, boats and aircraft.

Some residents suggested it might be time to sandblast the whole thing and paint a new mural featuring boats.
