Lighted Boat Parades Part 2
In Wednesday’s ‘Lectronic Latitude, we listed a plethora of lighted boat parades that will put holiday sparkle into the next three weekends in Northern California and San Diego. We wondered what we’d missed, and some alert readers clued us in.
San Mateo County, both coasts
- Saturday, December 10: Pillar Point Harbor Lighted Boat Festival, 6-9 p.m. Instead of parading around Half Moon Bay, the decorated boats will stay in their slips and visitors will walk the docks in the harbor to view the decorations, meet Santa, and listen to live music.
- Friday, December 16: Sequoia Yacht Club in Redwood City will host a lighted boat parade starting at 5 p.m. Decorated boats can join the parade or stay in their slips and be admired in situ. The Sea Scout Ship Gryphon will be offering rides to the boatless.
Southern California
December 10: Snow Wonder, fireworks and 54th Annual Holiday Boat Parade, Marina del Rey, noon-8 p.m. Theme: An Animated Holiday.
December 10: Parade of Lights, Channel Islands Harbor, 7 p.m. Theme: Hooray for Hollywood.
December 16 and 17: 40th Annual Parade of Lights, Ventura Harbor, 6:30-8 p.m. Theme: Parks on Parade, celebrating 100 years of our National Parks.
We’ll call this subject closed for the year. In 2017, nautical holiday event listings should be submitted to our Calendar no later than November 10.
