Now that you explained the situation, my response would be, you're not participating in their event, ride to your boat and don't give it another thought.
MANY replies in this topic were judgmental.
"Wanted to participate" wasn't even anywhere close to the way the original post was worded.
my response remains the same. the roads are public, ride them!
If the road isn't closed for a parade, a race, a street fair, festival.. etc... you can ride them.
