The 47th Annual San Diego Bay Parade Of Lights Is Back To Dazzle Us Yet Again

Continuing its long-standing San Diego tradition, the 47th annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights promises to dazzle and entertain bayfront crowds once again this weekend!

The event is a time-honored holiday tradition brought to San Diego by the boating community. Participants in this year’s highly anticipated parade will decorate their boats to fit this year’s theme, Tropical Island Christmas.

Presented by the Port of San Diego, the parade brings more than 100,000 San Diego residents and visitors to the shores of San Diego Bay each year. The procession of approximately 80 lavishly decorated boats has become one of the most iconic events in the region.

This year, for the 3rd time, the parade will proceed to the pier at Cesar Chavez Park before making the turn to Coronado, giving spectators another area to view the parade.

Bring a hot toddy and get there early to get a good view! For more info on the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights, click here.

See you there!
