59th Annual Parade of Lights

Kick off the holiday season with the 59th Annual Parade of Lights at the Channel Islands Harbor. The theme for this year’s boat parade is ““Rudolph’s Rock N’ Roll Regatta”. From the classics of the 60s to the hits of today, boaters are free to showcase any era of rock – whether that’s Elvis, The Beatles, Queen, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, or even modern rock favorites. As a viewer landside, think guitars, glitter, Santa doing a jam session, or a crew dressed as rock legends. There’s going to be bright lights, music, and holiday energy!

The parade is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.

Prior to the parade, there will be a variety of fun landside activities for families to enjoy.

Stay tuned!
