The Marina del Rey Boat Parade returns for its 63rd year! Prepare to be awed as spectacularly decorated boats light up Marina del Rey's main harbor. This year's theme is Nightmare Before Christmas (with pirates!). 

The evening starts with a 15 minute drone show at 5:45pm. The boat parade runs from 6pm to 8pm.

Best viewing is at the end of Burton Chace Park or at Fisherman's Village. Paid parking is available in county lots for this event.
