51st Annual Boat Parade of Lights

The Dana Point Harbor's much anticipated 51st Annual Boat Parade of Lights returns December 11, 12 & 13 with a Harboritaville theme! 

The parade begins nightly at 6:30pm. Boaters will decorate their vessels to the theme of the parade, for a chance to win up to $10,000 in cash prizes across several award categories, courtesy of Dana Point Harbor Partners. 

Award categories include Best Use of Theme, People's Choice, Supervisor's Cup, Mayor's Cup, and more. Boaters may sign up online, or in person at The Marina at Dana Point office. 

The public is welcome to view the parade from the harbor's boardwalk and parkscapes, or hop aboard a special holiday boat parade charter!
