Many shore dwellers as well as Hornblower Cruises & Events are preparing for their 102nd Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade! Come celebrate this world famous event aboard a Hornblower cruise and submerge yourself in the merriness of the season. This year’s parade is expected to attract an audience of over one million spectators over the five consecutive evenings and you won’t want to miss it! Festively decorated yachts and waterfront homes have drawn visitors from around the world and earned the event a spot on the list of Top Ten Holiday Happenings in the nation as determined by the New York Times. 

Many of the boats are richly adorned with animated holiday scenes accompanied by seasonal music and costumed carolers.  Some boat owners in the past have spent over $50,000 to decorate their vessels for the yearly event.  The colorful, twinkling parade winds its way nearly 14 miles around the harbor to give viewers in restaurants, yacht clubs, on public beaches, and in private homes an incredible sight – one that has delighted generations since 1908.

To inquire about hosting a private event during the boat parade call 949-646-0155
