Cost: Free
The 50th anniversary of the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is a holiday boat parade that will dazzle and entertain Bayfront crowds. Participants will decorate their boat to fit this year’s theme, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The procession of approximately 80 lavishly decorated boats has become one of the most iconic events in the region. Beginning at 5 p.m. each night, the parade starts at Shelter Island and proceeds to Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, the Pier at Cesar Chavez Park, and ends at the Ferry Landing in Coronado. The parade takes about an hour to pass any given point and there are many comfortable waterfront viewpoints along the route.
