This year, Newport Beach celebrates its 100th Annual Christmas Boat Parade from Wednesday, December 17, 2008 through Sunday December 21, 2008.
Although the parade has a new starting point this year, just off Bay Island, it will follow the same route and will start at 6:30 pm and end around 9:00 pm.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary, there will fireworks off the Balboa Pier at 6:25 pm Wednesday night just before the start of the parade.
This dazzling parade of lights features everything from multi million dollar yachts to kayaks all decorated for the holidays and participating in this local holiday event.
The Newport Beach boat parade is so much a part of our holiday that I don't think I can remember a year when I didn't attend even last year, when I was nine months pregnant.
This year we'll watch the parade on Dylan's first birthday.
The parade is so well renowned that the New York Time has called it "one of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation." So, why not come out and enjoy the 100th anniversary of this wonderful holiday tradition?

Sorry we had to cancel the first night of the 100th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade - the weather advisory obtained from the Harbor Patrol lead us to believe that there was a good possibility for some strong winds to come through based on an unstable weather pattern.

Brett - I don't remember that happening before, but it's important that everyone be safe.
It looks like the weather is much better tomorrow, so hopefully it's on tomorrow?
