Christmas Boat Parade 2025 in Newport Beach

Watch Newport Harbor come alive this holiday season as the 2025 Christmas Boat Parade lights up the waterfront with a spectacular display of festively decorated yachts, sailboats, and cruisers. Each evening, the parade sails past delighted crowds along the shoreline, creating an unforgettable experience filled with glowing lights, cheerful music, and a deep sense of holiday spirit.

But the magic doesn’t stop on the water. As part of the festivities, the Ring of Lights competition brings the holiday glow ashore, as bayside homes, docks, and businesses surrounding the harbor compete with elaborate decorations of their own. From twinkling rooftop displays to animated light shows and creative holiday scenes, the Ring of Lights turns the entire Newport Beach community into a winter wonderland.

Whether you're enjoying the parade from the comfort of a waterfront seat or cruising alongside the glowing procession, the combined effect of the boat parade and the Ring of Lights creates a holiday experience like no other. Secure your spot aboard a parade cruise today at christmasparadeboats.com.
