Marina Del Rey Holiday Boat Parade

Marina del Rey Holiday Boat Parade The Holiday Boat Parade in Marina del Rey is held every year on the second Saturday in December. www.mdrboatparade.com

Our theme this year is “A Margaritaville Holiday” celebrating the joyful legacy of the legendary singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. The parade begins with a spectacular lightshow display. Boat participants come up with their own ideas and decorate their boats with lots of holiday lights and decorations with our theme as their guide. They also wear costumes, dance, sing, have live bands or play music
