Santa Cruz Lighted Boat Parade
Saturday, December 2, 5:30 – 7pm
The Lighted Boat Parade features 50 beautifully-decorated power and sailboats parading through the Santa Cruz Harbor. This is a family event with hot drinks and snacks available at various locations through the south harbor.
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.
