The Homes: Newport Beach Boat Parade & Ring of Lights
Bayfront estates and their landscapes take part in their own competition called the “Ring Of Lights”. You will see bayfront homes/docks/yards in extravagant holiday lights displays and decor. Yachting companies and other business that line the bay also get into the spirit creating a ring of lights around most of Newport Bay. It truly is a community-wide activity. Are you starting to see why the Newport Beach Boat Parade is considered one of the top ten holiday events in the whole country? It is a competition for both ship owners and homeowners and prizes are given out for the best boats and home displays. For that reason, the decorations get better and better every year. That’s why so many people make going to the Newport Beach Boat Parade a tradition each holiday season.
The Specifications: Newport Beach Boat Parade
Of course, if you want to be a part of the Newport Beach Boat Parade, you need to know all of the specifics: The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade 2021 takes place once a year from the Third Wednesday in December to the third Sunday in the month. For 2021, the parade is from Wednesday December 15, 2021 to Sunday December 19, 2021. That means there will be five nights of parading for you to enjoy. Additionally, the opening night Wednesday Dec 15, 2021 and closing night Sunday December 19, 2021 ceremonies will include fireworks and other festivities. The Newport Beach Boat Parade 2021 takes place from around 6 pm to 10 pm every night.
All of those would be good viewing options, but think about something. If you stay on the shore, you will only be enjoying part of the event. Yes, you will see the decked out yachts, but what about all of the homes and docks? It will be impossible for you to enjoy them when you view the Newport Beach Boat Parade from the shore. So, what other option do you have? Consider Newport Landing Cruises.
If you own your own boat and you enjoy decorating, then you can certainly enter it into the Newport Beach Boat Parade Contest, but not everyone has that option. So, how can you enjoy the 2021 boat parade? According to the event website, you can view the parade from shore at such locations as:
- The Fun Zone
- Balboa Village
- Reserved Seating at the American Legion
- Reserved Seating at the Newport Sea Base
- Harborside Restaurant
- Rusty Pelican Restaurant
