Kick off the holiday season with the Channel Islands Harbor Parade of Lights!
Get ready to ho-ho-ho and whoa! as Channel Islands Harbor sets the season aglow with its annual Parade of Lights—a beloved seaside tradition that delivers a merry blend of magic, music and maritime sparkle.
Each year, the harbor becomes a stage for boats dressed to impress—decked out in twinkling lights, larger-than-life holiday décor and just the right dash of whimsy. From classic Christmas scenes to over-the-top themes (cowboys and sleigh bells, anyone?), the creativity on display is sure to make spirits bright.
But the fun doesn’t stop at the waterline. Onshore, families can explore festive festivities like live music, a holiday marketplace full of local treasures, tasty treats and children’s activities galore.
This celebration isn’t just about lights—it’s about heart. With a food and toy drive built into the festivities, guests have the chance to give back and help brighten the holidays for local families in need.
So, whether you're bundled up on the shore or watching from your favorite harbor restaurant, the Parade of Lights is your ticket to a night of wonder, warmth and waterfront holiday cheer.
