There will be two parades on two consecutive Sundays – December 14 and 21 – from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.The event is free and provides a way to enjoy the holiday and local community. There are upwards of 80 boats that will be decorated with lights and will represent this year’s theme of Children’s Stories.

The parade will make its way from the starting point at Shelter Island and pass Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village and Ferry Landing in Coronado. The best viewing locations are from the water as the parade turns west, heading to Coronado, while those on land can try the north and south ends of the Embarcadero and pathway along Coronado.
