Newport's annual Christmas Boat Parade is scheduled to start on December 14 this year.

Newport Beach is famous for its emerald green and blue Pacific ocean waters, surfing and sand, sunsets, beaches and harbor, kayaking, sailing, fishing from the piers, beach volleyball, great restaurants, people watching and fun.

During December Newport Beach residents and business owners are decorating their homes, businesses and boats.

Newport Beach will celebrate the 103rd Annual Christmas Boat Parade, December 14 to 18 - themed “Feelin’ Christmas-sea,”

The event is presented by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce.

For more than 100 years Newport Beach’s Christmas Boat Parade has provided fun experience for spectators and residents - with about 200 decorated vessels - yachts to canoes, through Newport Harbor. This boat parade is the oldest of its kind in the US and attracts a huge number of spectators.

The parade will start at 6:30 p.m. each night, so prepare for cold weather, parking issues this year and keep yourself warm and at a good location for viewing.
