102nd Annual Newport Beach Holiday Boat Parade

Written on December 7, 2010 by in Newport Beach Events

The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce proudly hosts the 102nd Year of this spectacular Holiday Tradition.  Join over a million viewers as you watch beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks and canoes sail along the harbor in the 102nd Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Hosted by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, we invite you to celebrate our city’s movie and film heritage with the theme “Lights, Camera…Christmas in Newport Beach!”

The Event

As Newport Beach’s Christmas Card to the world, the boat parade will set the harbor ablaze for five consecutive nights, beginning Wednesday, December 15 and ending Sunday, December 19, 2010. The parade starts off Bay Island at 6:30 pm and finishes at the same site at approximately 9:00 pm each evening.

Beautiful multi-million dollar yachts, kayaks, canoes and other small boats will light up the harbor as a dazzling array of holiday lights and music fill the air at the Christmas Boat Parade. Many of the boats will be richly decorated with animated Christmas scenes accompanied by music and costumed carolers. Some boat owners in the past have spent over $50,000 to decorate their vessels for the event. The Christmas floats will wind their way some 14 miles around the harbor to give viewers in restaurants, yacht clubs, on public beaches, and in private homes an incredible sight that has delighted millions of people for a century.

The Christmas Boat Parade, which has been hailed as “one of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation” by the New York Times, is truly a magical holiday tradition for all ages. The parade continues to be a premier event during the holiday season in Southern California that brings joy and happiness to all that view it.

2010 Parade Route

The 2010 Parade will utilize the same starting and ending point as last year, located off Bay Island.
