Save Newport Real News in Newport Beach
It’s that time of year again! Recognized as a “can’t-miss” local event and recently hailed as “one of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation” by The New York Times, the Boat Parade is truly a magical holiday tradition enjoyed annually by everyone in and around Newport Beach’s beautiful Harbor.
This year, we will be celebrating the 107th year of the event.
For those planning to travel on the Balboa Peninsula, please consider carpooling and arriving early, as traffic and parking are always problematic for this event.
DATES: December 16, 2015 – December 20, 2015
TIMES: 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm each evening, starting at Bay Island, moving towards the mouth of the bay, then wrapping around the harbor to Bay Island again. There will be fireworks opening and closing the event, on 6:15pm on Wednesday @ Newport Pier and 9:00pm Sunday @ Balboa Pier.
