<\/p>\nDecked out with Philadelphia Eagles flags, banners and green lights, boats cruised the Delaware River as many Birds fans cheered on.<\/p>\n
“It’s an awesome sense of community. I love to see everyone out. It’s great, it’s a good time, it brings everyone together,” said Gavin Barr.<\/p>\n
“It’s definitely different, I’m glad that we can show off our team and the city of Philadelphia. Love this team, love this city, nothing but good things,” Ken Dell said.<\/p>\n
“I love the music, I love the colors, the flags, I love everything,” Jaime Hoagey said.<\/p>\n
It was all for the fourth annual Deck the Hulls boat parade and pier party Saturday night at the Cherry Street Pier. About a dozen boats lined the route and showed off their Philly pride.<\/p>\n
Georgette Luna with Sea Philly, a river cruise company, helped organize the event and chose the Eagles theme.<\/p>\n
“It was a no-brainer when we thought about what this year’s theme was going to be. It was going to be Eagles-themed, and what better timing? We’re about to kick off camp, and so we’re like, we’re here for our boys,” Luna said.<\/p>\n
Many families gathered to take in the sights and sounds. There was also a mermaid, giveaways and a water show by the Philadelphia Fire Department’s Marine Unit.<\/p>\n

Justine Costen said she never passes up an opportunity to cheer on the Eagles.<\/p>\n
“I am enjoying this. I am going to ride this until the wheels fall off. I am a die-hard Eagles fan; this is right up my alley. I can’t wait for the season to start,” Costen said.<\/p>\n
Fans are still riding the wave five months after the Super Bowl<\/a>, and the parade helped fire up many in the crowd ahead of training camp.<\/p>\n “Honestly, whenever I’m having a bad day, I remember that we’re the world champions, and all my problems go away, so really excited for next season, looking forward to it,” Lindsay Bates said.<\/p>\n “This has been the best year, this has been the best season so far, and I can’t wait for training camp to start in three days. I’m definitely pumped,” Steve Barr said.<\/p>\n Sea Philly is already planning an even bigger and better boat parade for next year. The theme will be red, white and blue to mark America’s 250th birthday celebration<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n
