Newport Beach Christmas Tree Recycling

Newport Beach Christmas Tree Recycling

 

 

This year, Waste Management will be collecting Christmas trees for the first two weeks after Christmas. Christmas trees will be picked up on your regular collection day and will be recycled.

Trees that are taller than 6 feet in height need to be cut in half. All decorations, tinsel and stands must be removed, and the Christmas tree should be placed at the curb for collection.

Although flocked trees will also be picked up, they cannot be recycled.

So make sure you get your Christmas trees out in time to be recycled.

103rd Newport Beach Boat Parade - 12-14-11 to 12-18-11

103rd Newport Beach Boat Parade - 12-14-11 to 12-18-11

  The 2011 Newport Beach Boat Parade will run from 12/14/11 to 12/18/11. This fantastic holiday spectacle has been part of my holiday for as long as I can remember.

Newport Beach Boat Parade

The parade starts just off Bay Island at 6:30 each night and finishes in the same spot at about 9:00 pm. The parade is about 14 miles long. Click the link to see the Newport Beach Boat Parade Route.

Every year numerous boats are decorated with lights and blow up figures and play music as those aboard wave to the crowds who watch.

In addition to the boats themselves, another holiday event to enjoy in the Newport Harbor is the Ring of Lights. Many of the bayside homes and businesses also get in the spirit by decorating for the holiday season with lights and decorations. This makes a spin around the harbor well worth your time.

Again this year there will be fireworks on 12/18/11 for the last day of this year's Newport Beach boat parade. The fireworks will be launched from the Balboa pier and should be visible all around the harbor.

Please send us your pictures and let us know what you think about this year's Newport Beach Boat Parade.

How lucky are we to be able to get on our bikes and ride to the beach on Thanksgiving Day.

Though it might have been a little colder than usual, it was still a wonderful day, followed by a wonderful Turkey dinner.

How was your Thanksgiving Day?  What are you thankful for this year?

Whimsical Gelato - Newport Beach

Whimsical Gelato - Newport Beach

  Whimsical Gelato is a wonderful new dessert spot located at 3109 Newport Boulevard in the Landing a revitalized shopping center on the corner of Newport Boulevard and 32nd Street. It has both classic and more exotic flavors that change at the "whim" of its owner.    

 

 

When I was there for my first time, I fell in love with the salted caramel gelato. The salty and sweet mixed perfectly, and the smoothness of the gelato was amazing. The pumpkin was also amazing as are the other flavors that I have tasted.      

 

 

The decor is just perfect, making me smile as I walk in the door. It is simple, bright and colorful. Whimsical Gelato opened just two months ago, so be sure to stop by and discover this amazing new jewel along the Newport Beach coast.

Whimsical Gelato is open every day during the summer and is closed on Monday during the rest of the year.

Newport Beach Halloween Events - Ghost Ship

Newport Beach Halloween Events - Ghost Ship

 

If you're looking for something terrifying and different this Halloween in Newport Beach, we have a suggestion for you. 

This is a 75 minute tour of horror on the Ghost Ship. 

The history of the Ghost Ship:

In the early 1930's, the State of California decided that the best way to handle the inmates of Psych Ward 7 was to hold them 100 miles from shore out at sea.  In 1939, the floating asylum disappeared without a trace.  It has been missing . . .  until now.

The Ghost Ship is brought to your by the creators of Los Angeles'  Haunted Hayride and does not sounds like a ride for the faint of heart.

For more information about the Ghost Ship, please see Newport Beach Ghost Ship. Tickets for the Ghost Ship are $59.

For homes for sale in Newport Beach, please see below.
