Instagram Holiday Roundup

Boat parade in Newport Beach

If we learned anything from spending the holidays here, it’s this: Newport Beach is the most festive town in the state. We would venture as far as to call it your holiday headquarters. Case in point: the Christmas Boat Parade, which lit up the entire bay and brought families together to slow down and take in the views. Another proof? Roger’s gardens, which turns into a winter wonderland every year and never fails to impress us with its ornate, whimsical decor. Also, let’s not forget Sherman Library and Gardens, and Fashion Island. Of course, there’s more we can show you. Here is a roundup of some of the best and sparkliest moments that unfurled in our neck of the woods—as shared by visitors and locals on social media.
