Proudly Hosted by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce
Watch beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks and canoes sail along the harbor in the 115th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. This year’s parade will be held Wednesday through Sunday, December 13-17, 2023 and is once again hosted by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce.
As the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade moves it way through the Newport Harbor, you can view the parade from almost any place on the shore FREE of cost.
With thousands of people viewing the parade each evening, please allow extra time for travel and arrive as early as possible. All city parking lots will be open throughout the parade to accommodate viewers.
FIREWORKS: The parade will have an exhilarating firework display from the Newport Pier at 6:15 p.m. on opening night and 9 p.m. from the Balboa Pier on closing night.
Through a partnership with Eagle Four Partners, Code Four and Skyworx Drone Shows, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade has added another nighttime spectacular with our first in-air drone show. Two shows will be lighting up the skies in front of the Balboa Bay Resort each night on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights of the parade at approximately 6:15 pm and 8:30 pm.
Through a partnership with Eagle Four Partners and Code Four, the waters of Newport Beach will be rockin’ with the sounds of “SATISFACTION – THE ULTIMATE ROLLING STONES TRIBUTE BAND” as they cruise around the harbor and appear at various locations in front of the parade on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.
