Over two million guests gather each year to watch hundreds of decorated yachts and boats parade through Newport Harbor during the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade and Holiday Lights Cruises. Bayfront estates glow with millions of lights as part of the Ring of Lights competition, creating a festive atmosphere for those sailing from Newport Landing and Davey's Locker. Those attending the parade-night cruises between December 16 and 20 get a front-row view as the vessels travel inside the parade route.
