2014 Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade “Deck the Hulls with Bows of Jolly”

“Deck the Hulls with Bows of Jolly” as the 106th Annual Newport Beach Boat Parade provides holiday cheer for Orange County locals from December 17th through the 21st. Visit Newport Beach and the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce will be offering a new parade route featuring free viewing spots to watch the parade.

Families can now watch the parade from one of their favorite local Newport Beach waterfront restaurants or from one of the free viewing locations. In addition to the new viewing spots, guests can purchase grandstand seats at two locations; the Newport Beach Sea Base and ExplorOcean. Advance reservations are suggested, as seats will sell out fast!

The boat parade runs for five consecutive nights, beginning Wednesday, December 17 and ending Sunday, December 21, 2014. Each night the parade starts at Bay Island at 6:30 p.m. and finishes at the same site at approximately 9:00 p.m., completing its 14.7-mile route around Newport Harbor.
