FreeSanta Cruz Lighted Boat Parade
Saturday, December 3, 5:30pm
The Parade in an annual event at the Santa Cruz Harbor where decorated boats circle the harbor shortly after sunset (5:30pm). This year’s theme is Deck the Hulls.
The parade takes place on December 3rd 2022 and starts at 5:30pm. Plan ahead and leave yourself extra time to find parking and good viewing location.
The parade takes place in the South Harbor between Murray Street bridge and the gas dock. Boats do not exit the harbor and generally do not travel as far as the light house. While offering spectacular nighttime views of the Monterey Bay and the Santa Cruz shoreline, the lighthouse is not suitable for watching the parade.
Limited viewing is available from the Murray Street bridge, from the East Harbor launch ramp, and from a variety of harbor paths.
