LA Harbor Holiday Boat Parade

Celebrate a 63-year tradition of festive lights and community joy at the Port of Los Angeles. This beloved holiday event brings Wilmington and San Pedro together with a dazzling one-mile display of decorated boats cruising through the Main Channel.

Experience a vibrant lineup of powerboats, sailboats, tall ships, and harbor craft—each glowing with holiday cheer. Community leaders and officials will join as judges and passengers on nearly 50 parade boats.
