California’s rain and cold snap has put us in the mood for winter. Snow is accumulating in the higher elevations while down at the beaches you’ll want a jacket on these cool evenings. It’s nearly time to string the lights (if you decorate) and go out to see the magic that others have created. With more than 10 big boat parades in California, there are hundreds of boats and yachts that do an incredible job of creating fantasies for the public to see. Sky’s the limit! \u00a0Among the biggest boat parades are Newport Beach, San Diego, Los Angeles Harbor, Kings Harbor Redondo Beach, Marina del Rey, Long Beach & Naples, Oxnard & Ventura, Morro Bay, Petaluma, the Delta, Santa Cruz, Huntington Harbour, Oakland, Oceanside, Sausalito and Stockton. Here’s the list of wonderful boat parade events<\/a> you won’t want to miss! \u00a0The fun begins in just two weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pictured is the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade seen from Balboa Island, which overlooks Balboa Pavilion (left) and the Ferris wheel at the Fun Zone (upper right.)
